WALK THIS WAY: A circuit of the Pressendye ridge in Deeside By Alan Rowan April 24 2021, 8.15am
Pressendye is the high point in a long, rolling ridge which forms the watershed between the Dee and the Don and as such the routes to its summit are many and varied.
The circuit from the tidy village of Tarland to the south gives a satisfying day out that has a little bit of everything and is neither too long or too strenuous.
The approach starts off on minor roads before heading up through trees to reach open hillside, and then meandering along the wide ridge to the huge summit cairn, before descending via a series of twisting forest tracks and paths.
