Deeside Holiday Park

Not for nothing is Deeside the favourite summer stomping ground of the royal family: it’s an area rich in culture and history, and the scenery is breathtaking. From Deeside Holiday Park, you’ll find it easy to reach all the top attractions: follow the castle trail to visit Balmoral an hour away, as well as other gems such as Crathes (10 minutes), Dunnottar (20 minutes) or Castle Fraser (25 minutes). You could (should) also ramble around the ancient recumbent stone circles sprinkled across the countryside; or make the short drive into the 'granite city' of Aberdeen to the maritime museum or the art gallery, or to make the most of the excellent shopping and restaurants. It's whisky a go go in this part of the world too, so it would be rude not to support the local industry with a tour of one (or several) of the many distinguished distilleries nearby... If needed, you can clear your head with some walking, cycling or horse riding, or hit the River Dee for kayaking, canoeing or fishing; and, given the number of excellent golf courses in the area, there’s no chance of the golfers in your party getting teed off.
