Overview

Starting beside the River Clunie the walk climbs gently up the Queen's Drive, a carriage drive once favoured by Queen Victoria, with good views opening up.  The walk continues past the rock outcrop known as the Lion's Face and then descends to follow a path above the Deeside road.  There is a short steepish climb to the Cromlins viewpoint before descending back through woodland to Braemar
