The Formartine and Buchan Way is a 54 mile <strong>of</strong>f-road route,<br />
which runs from Dyce Railway Station in<strong>to</strong> the heart <strong>of</strong> rural<br />
Aberdeenshire, linking Ellon, Maud, and the coastal <strong>to</strong>wns <strong>of</strong><br />
Fraserburgh and Peterhead. The flat nature <strong>of</strong> the Way, makes it<br />
an ideal recreational route and, as it acts as a wildlife corridor,<br />
there is plenty <strong>to</strong> see throughout the year.<br />
From Dyce, the Way runs some 25 miles <strong>to</strong> Maud where it splits.<br />
Continuing north for 15 miles leads <strong>to</strong> Fraserburgh. (Note: the<br />
railway path is unsurfaced just north <strong>of</strong> Maud. Use public roads<br />
for two miles, rejoining the railway path at Bruckley Bridge on the<br />
A950.) The eastern branch can be followed for 13 miles <strong>to</strong><br />
Peterhead. The Way passes through (or near) many places <strong>of</strong><br />
interest, such as Aden Country Park, Drinnies Wood Observa<strong>to</strong>ry,<br />
Strichen S<strong>to</strong>ne Circle and Deer Abbey.<br />
There is an extensive network <strong>of</strong> minor roads in the area for<br />
circular rides in the area, such as Route 1 from Newmachar <strong>to</strong><br />
Auchnagatt.<br />
