This period is ideal for exploring the local walking trails, such as those around the Old Deer Abbey ruins or along the River Ugie.July and August offer the warmest weather, making it superb for outdoor activities and visiting local attractions like Aden Country Park. You can enjoy strolls around the park's estate, explore the Aberdeenshire Farming Museum, or take part in any local events that might be scheduled.September is also a lovely time, with cooler, crisp air and often beautiful autumn colours starting to appear, especially around the forested areas.
