Discover Aberdeenshire: The Ultimate VDub Adventures Road Trip

Why Aberdeenshire?

Aberdeenshire is one of Scotland’s best-kept secrets. From dramatic cliffs and golden beaches to ancient castles and charming villages, it’s a region packed with variety and amazing scenery. Whether you're a history buff, nature lover, foodie, or just in need of a peaceful escape, there’s something here for everyone.  And the best part? It’s all within easy reach when you’re travelling by campervan.

What to see & do

Here are just a few of our favourite local spots for your Aberdeenshire adventure:

• Forest Farm Ice Cream - Just a mile from our pick-up point you can start your road trip perfectly with a sweet treat from Forest Farm – The Organic Dairy. This award-winning organic farm is home to Scotland’s first milk vending machines and some of the creamiest, most indulgent gelato ice cream you’ll ever taste.
• Castle Fraser - One of Scotland’s grandest tower houses, surrounded by beautiful gardens and woodland walks. A perfect picnic spot with a touch of history.  Our Granny was brought up in the grounds of this castle and we love taking the next generation back to play and explore the grounds.
• Bennachie - One of Aberdeenshire’s most iconic hill ranges and our favourite local walk.  Bennachie offers panoramic views, ancient woodland trails, and the legendary Mither Tap summit with its Iron Age fort. Start at the Bennachie Visitor Centre and take your pick from gentle forest trails to challenging climbs.
• Stonehaven – A charming harbour town known for its dramatic coastline, award-winning fish and chips, and the famous Dunnottar Castle just a short walk away. While you're there, try stand-up paddleboarding or a wood fired sauna with Stonehaven Paddleboarding.
• Why not visit Aberdeen City itself too – known as the Granite City, Aberdeen is full of surprises from the interesting Aberdeen Art Gallery and Duthie Park’s Winter Gardens, to the quirky fishing village of Footdee (Fittie).
