WaterSports
Rivers and lochs are central to Aberdeenshire's unique attraction, Aberdeen is one of the few UK cities with a beach and the regions coastline has been described as “one of the world’s outstanding coastlines” by National Geographic - its no wonder then that Watersports are well represented in the region.
Road Cycling
The stunning landscape that we enjoy so much for mountain biking also lends itself as a stunning backdrop to road cycling in Aberdeenshire. With a mix of spectacular undulating routes and some searing climbs up to our ski centres it provides unlimited opportunity for exploration on skinny wheels. Featured in both the 2021 and 2022 Tour of Britain route the region is one of Britain's current hot locations.
