The northern reaches of the Cairngorms National Park is best known for the magical landscape and array of attractions, especially during the winter months when skiing is at its best. The popular ski centre is a 13-mile drive away where you can hit the slopes whether you are a complete beginner or highly experienced. Cyclists will appreciate the thrills and spills across the region, hiring mountain bikes and setting off along the trails with a picnic in tow. For those who prefer more leisurely adventures, you’ll be able to access a plethora of footpaths from your doorstep so all you’ll need to remember is your binoculars. Red squirrel, deer and golden eagles can be spotted at various locations, so bring your camera. Not content with exploring on foot or by bike, why not embrace the Speyside Whisky Trail and use your taste buds instead, sampling the amber liquid from nine different locations. The nearest distillery is within 6.5 miles, and the furthest is 34 miles away, but it is certainly worth the longer drive to complete the trail.
