In winter, the Lecht and Glenshee sports facilities are available and the ski slopes are only an hour's drive away. Summer activities at the Lecht include downhill mountain trails for mountain biking. Other activities in the area include walking and cycling in the Cairngorms National Park, exploring the stunning coastline of north east Scotland, travelling on the steam railway, the thriving arts and music venue, and golf, with the Banchory golf course within a short walking distance.
Nestling at the gateway to Royal Deeside and on the banks of the River Dee, Banchory is a beautiful place to enjoy a holiday. Deeside's historical connections can be explored in the town and there is a wealth of beautiful castles to visit locally which include NTS castles such as Crathes and Drum, as well as Balmoral Castle, the Scottish home of the Royal Family.
