Dinnet and Cambus O’May 

The map on the opposite page shows the proposed core paths network for the area 
around Dinnet and Cambus O’May. The paths proposed within this area have been 
chosen as they best fit with the objectives of the Core Paths Plan and have been 
identified during the consultation process. The paths at Cambus O’May are part of the 
Forestry Commission promoted network there and include a popular wheelchair 
accessible trail and a linking path through to the Burn O’Vat and Loch Kinord. The 
settlements in this area are well linked via the Deeside Way (UDE3) and also UDE59 and 
UDE4. The circular path around Loch Kinord also provides a link to the Burn O’Vat. 

The Loch Kinord circular path and Burn O’Vat path enable people to enjoy the natural 
heritage of the Park in a responsible way and are also very popular. The area caters well 
for different activities and ability levels and the paths attract both visitors and local 
residents. Access to the river is good at the bridge over the Dee at Dinnet. Many of the 
paths selected were developed through the Eastern Cairngorms Access Project as well 
as the Upper Deeside Access Trust and in conjunction with the local community, local 
land managers and public agencies including Scottish Natural Heritage and Forestry 
Commission Scotland. These paths are popular with both the community and visitors. 
They cater for a range of activities and help land managers to manage access both for 
management operations and conservation.
