This is a 14 mile ride on a mixture of road and off-road, gravel surfaces along the National Cycle Network Route One.

The mainly traffic-free stretch begins from Cullen, and travels along the old railway viaduct into the port of Portknockie – which means ‘the hilly port’.

The railway path sticks to the coastline, to Findochty, before crossing the A943, and heading inland to Buckie, a linear town which follows the sea.
