Aden Country Park
Often referred to as “the jewel in the Buchan crown”, Aden Country Park is a 230 acre country park in the heart of Buchan, Aberdeenshire. Aden (pronounced Aa-den), offers a warm welcome, beautiful surroundings, and a wide range of opportunities for recreation and relaxation.
Situated in the heart of the park lies the unique semi-circular farmstead buildings, now housing the award-winning Aberdeenshire Farming Museum, Aden Café, Craft & Gift Shop, and the park Visitor Information Centre.
Park facilities also include a multigenerational children’s play area, picnic and BBQ sites, Victorian arboretum, SANDS, carers, and sensory gardens, along with a Book of Deer exhibition. Other amenities include an outdoor gym, dog agility and exercise area, horse arena, disabled parking, electric vehicle charging points, fully accessible Changing Places toilet, and for those who want to stay for longer, an enjoyable stay at the Aden Caravan & Camping Site.
With its diversity of habitats, Aden is also a great place to engage with nature and is home to a wide variety of animals and wildlife throughout the year.
Aden also plays host to a variety of events and volunteer opportunities. Annual events include Seedy Sunday, Wild About Aden, Heritage & Tractor Day, along with our popular Halloween and Christmas events.
Apart from all these ‘organised’ uses, the park itself provides beautiful surroundings for people to enjoy a walk, jog, cycle, or space to exercise your four-legged friend. Whatever your interest, Aden has something for visitors of all ages and abilities.
