The route goes through the industrial areas associated with the harbour, fish processing factories and yards storing materials and equipment en route to the North Sea oil and gas industry. It also passes close to the ferry terminal for passengers and vehicles travelling to the Orkney and Shetland Islands. |

North of the harbour the Trail follows the Esplanade along AberdeenBeach past the fun fair and cafes of the traditional British seafront to the tranquility of Donmouth Local Nature Reserve and northwards along the sand dune backed beach into Aberdeenshire. The route through AberdeenCity is about 20km long.Ordnance Survey Map sheet number 38, Aberdeen, will help you find your way. |
