This has to be a real hidden gem in a part of Scotland that is so often over-looked as one heads north to Glasgow or the Highlands and Islands. The Machar is such a lovely under-stated area. Although our stay was only brief this time, there is so much to tempt one back; we are planning a September return to cycle some of the Sustrans routes. The site is beautifully positioned and as neat and tidy as you expect club sites to be. The wardens are charming and exceedingly helpful, so there's really no reason not to visit. So, head west after Carlisle and find a wonderful hidden corner!
