Enjoyed the 10 mile walk on a lovely autumn day. The tree colours were beautiful and the Loch and surrounding area stunning. It’s a flat walk with a few rough paths to navigate , just the place to get away from it all.

Enjoyed a pleasant walk here on a sunny autumn day. Unfortunately the visitor centre was closed but managed to navigate our way around on foot. Climbed to the Knockie viewpoint and walked around the estate. Just the place to blow the cobwebs away and get away from it all

Beautiful us an understatement!! It was an incredible beach and especially when the curious seals are popping their head to say hello so close to you.

St. Cyrus beach is also a nature reserve, as it’s home to over 70 species of birds, as well as as other flora, fauna & insects - (and there’s also the possibility of spotting ???? and seals in the water.) The stretch of golden sand is around 3 miles, backed by grassy dunes, with red granite cliffs towering in the background. You can access it from the turn off at the North Esk bridge where there is a fair sized car park, and a long wooden walkway to the beach. However, as the views are so spectacular from St. Cyrus cliff top , it’s worthwhile to take in the views from there. If you are physically able you can also use two steep cliff paths to walk down to the beach ( I personally find the northern one easier)and just take time and care to to both ascend/descend. It is well worth it (and I’m lazy!) & takes approximately 10/15 minutes. There are rock pools, rocky outcrops and sand dunes to explore, and a pretty waterfall at the northern end. The beach is also littered with characterful driftwood & flotsam & jetsam. It is a photographer’s dream - especially at dawn & sunset.

A stretch of sandy beach north of the city.

A beautiful beach with large sand dunes and amazing views of the north sea with windfarm in the distance. Ideal for a family day out or a sunset walk with a loved one.

An awe-inspiring gorge that sharply drops nearly 200 feet.
Reviewed By Paradise544398
Lovely Place to visit. please be mindful of the people that live in the small hamlet. keep to the foot path. it is a dangerous cliff path. so recommended that dogs kept on a lead. Narrow Path so no social distancing. wear suitable walking shoes or boots. there are no public toilets. nearest Cruden Bay.

Decided to visit the Glass Houses here at Duthie Park. Amazing with beautiful displays indoors and a great show of colour with a Tropical glass house and Cactus house. Easy to get to however parking may be an issue as this place is very popular. Great coffee shops too, to enjoy after your visit and chill out.
