Keen walkers will enjoy a walk round the town of Ellon which has grown considerably in recent years and now has approximately 9000 inhabitants.

However, the town has kept many of its distinctive features and on this walk you will see the wealth of local history and wildlife habitats that this small town can offer.

The walk is four miles long and on easy flat terrain. You will need sensible walking shoes or boots, as the track is un-paved in places and includes steps and slopes.

The walk can be taken in either direction and the route is marked with waymarkers and lamppost stickers which look like the image above.
