The Forest of Deer:
The Forest of Deer comprises Drinnies Wood, Louden Wood and
White Cow Wood. There are many enjoyable walks to be had in
all, with picnicking facilities and monuments along the way.
Drinnie's Wood
boasts the Observatory, which offers spectacular
views for miles in every direction, as well as walks through
the trees offering a first hand look at Buchan nature.
Louden Wood is home to one of Buchan's many stone circles,
but it is perhaps best to stick to walking round the woods for
their own sake, as it is notoriously difficult to find and in
a state of disrepair. If you have excellent map reading skills
and don't mind crossing rough ground and battling through the
foliage!

White Cow Wood has the remains of a cairn, of which little
now remains and is often mistaken for a stone circle.

Aden Park as you leave Mintlaw) turn right and follow the road.
