Have fun cycling by the <strong>Moray</strong> <strong>Firth</strong>! From Meavie Point in<br />

Banff, head east along the coast on a quiet road which joins a<br />

cyclepath <strong>to</strong> Banff Links. The route leads through a caravan<br />

park/campsite, across a footbridge and on tracks round the<br />

coast <strong>to</strong> Whitehills. En route there are great sea views and the<br />

Roman built Red Well. In Whitehills, look out for the excellent fish<br />

shop by the harbour.<br />

Another route from Banff is <strong>to</strong> follow the rough tracks around<br />

Montc<strong>of</strong>fer Woods. Start or finish at Duff House – a Country<br />

House Gallery <strong>of</strong> the National Galleries <strong>of</strong> Scotland, which has<br />

works by El Greco, among other luminaries, and visiting<br />

exhibitions. A highlight <strong>of</strong> this cycle route is the picturesque<br />

Bridge <strong>of</strong> Alvah.<br />
