Touring,
walking, or cycling across Angus and Dundee, brings
rich rewards in the form of breathtaking scenery. Of
all the Angus Glens, Glen Lethnot is surely one of Scotland's
most atmospheric, unspoilt places, with delights to
stimulate every sense - from moorland colours, scented
heathers and grasses, to the refreshing zing of pure
melt-water in the high burns.
Enjoy bracing coastal walks along the
Arbroath cliffs, with stunning red sandstone rock formations
like the infamous "De'ils heid" (Devils Head),
the spectacular sands of St Cyrus, and Lunan Bay, and
the award-winning beach at Montrose.
Another favourite Angus Glen is Glen Esk,
where Queen Victoria visited on her journeys exploring
the hills from her highland home at Balmoral. The Queen's
Well in Glen Esk, with its stone crown, was erected
as a mark of respect to her and is well worth a visit.
In this, the longest Angus Glen, is the Retreat - a
delightful folk museum containing handicrafts and artifacts
- nestling amidst a great variety of scenery.
If you thrill at the prospect of
rambling along quiet tracks, through open countryside,
or over hills and mountains, then Angus is sure to delight.
The land is generally flat - and even the Glens roll
along gently without too many steep hills. If, on the
other hand, you are a keen hill walker, you will find
the challenge you need - the north of Angus is packed
with a spectacular landscape that will get you itching
to get your walking boots on!
