Fairy Lochan
Winds through woodland and moorland to a tranquil lochan tucked into the Cairngorms foothills. Expect moderate inclines with some uneven, potentially boggy ground—sturdy boots recommended. Not suitable for buggies and tricky for very young children due to terrain. Dogs welcome on leads near wildlife. The reward is a peaceful, lesser-known spot perfect for picnics and spotting dragonflies, with lovely reflections on calm days.

Juniper Path
Follows a gentle woodland trail through juniper scrub and mixed forest, mostly flat with occasional short inclines—perfect for families with young children and manageable with all-terrain buggies on drier days. Dogs welcome on leads to protect ground-nesting birds. Worth it for spotting Scotland's rare native juniper alongside diverse birdlife, plus peaceful forest atmosphere just minutes from busy tourist spots around Ballater.
Walking route
5.24 km from campsite
Chapel Trail
Meanders through gentle Aberdeenshire countryside with minimal incline, making it ideal for families with young children and pushchair-friendly in dry conditions. Dogs welcome on leads. The route connects historic chapel sites and offers peaceful farmland views without challenging climbs. Perfect for a short family outing combining easy walking with local heritage, though muddy patches likely after rain so boots recommended.
