Join the Formartine and Buchan Way way from Dyce railway<br />
station car park (signed). The cycleway follows the line <strong>of</strong> the<br />
disused railway all the way <strong>to</strong> Newmachar. Be aware that there<br />
are a few minor road crossings where the railway bridges have<br />
been removed. That aside, this is a route where you can really<br />
enjoy effortless cycling along this flat, traffic-free route.<br />
It’s particularly attractive in the spring and summer months when<br />
the hedgerows come alive. Rich farmland, for which this part <strong>of</strong><br />
the north-east is famed, extends on both sides. A short trip on a<br />
minor road takes you in<strong>to</strong> the <strong>to</strong>wn <strong>of</strong> Newmachar where you can<br />
eat and drink before returning by the same route, or continue <strong>to</strong><br />
explore the Formartine and Buchan Way (see map 9 for details).<br />
