Ballater 

The map on the opposite page shows the proposed core paths network for the area 
around Ballater. The paths proposed within this area have been chosen as they best fit 
with the objectives of the Core Paths Plan and have been identified during the 
consultation process. Many of the paths selected were put in place by the Upper 
Deeside Access Trust in conjunction with the local community and local land managers. 
These paths are popular with both the community and visitors. They cater for a range 
of activities and help land managers to manage access on their land. 

The path around the golf course (UDE29) offers a good surface for people with 
pushchairs and wheelchairs. The Seven Bridges Walk (UDE28) is one of the most 
popular in the area and, along with a number of other paths, allow people to enjoy 
the natural heritage of the Park in a responsible way. The Deeside Way (UDE3) and 
the proposed path at UDE59 provide good off-road routes for a range of activities 
and abilities providing good links to Dinnet and Cambus O’May. The Cinder Path 
(UDE31) and pavement to the Craigendarroch (UDE60) are well used links within 
the community.
