Recreation & Outdoors 

Kingswells is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and one of the best ways to enjoy it is by walking the four main hills that shape the landscape around the village. These gentle climbs and connecting trails offer stunning views, peaceful woodlands, and a real sense of escape—right on your doorstep.

Brimmond Hill is the highest point, with panoramic views stretching from the city to the sea and across the rolling countryside. Elrick Hill is covered in quiet woodland paths, perfect for a shady stroll. Westhill’s Kepplehills offers open, grassy trails ideal for family walks or dog adventures, and Little Cairn Hill near the Aberdeen Bypass is a lesser-known gem with a rural, wild feel.

Together, these hills can be enjoyed individually or linked as part of a longer loop—making them a favourite for walkers, runners, and nature-lovers alike.

Why not lace up your boots and explore all four? It’s a brilliant way to get to know the natural heart of Kingswells.
