Hill of Fare
Standing proud, just 30 minutes drive from the heart of Aberdeen, the Hill of Fare can be seen from miles around. Underlying pink granite give rise to mainly firm, fast and challenging single track descents, with the occasional boggy patch. Some long climbs are rewarded with panoramic views across Aberdeenshire, with the wee nearby village of Echt sitting neatly below.
