Gordon Way

The Gordon Way is a waymarked hiking trail in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It runs for through the Bennachie Forest. The route was one of a series maintained by the Forestry Commission and Aberdeenshire Council. In 2016, the council withdrew completely from its maintaining the route due to budgetary constraints.

Route

The trail runs from the Essons car park at the Bennachie Centre, near Inverurie, through the Bennachie Forest, crossing the Bridge of Alford to Clatt road at the bealach between Bennachie and Suie Hill, to the Suie car park, which is located on the bealach between Suie Hill and Hill of Millmedden, south-east of Rhynie. There are plans to extend the route to Rhynie in future, with a proposed extension from Inverurie to Huntly through Rhynie. The route follows former peat extraction routes.
