Situated between the Rivers Avon and Conglass, the town is an ideal place from which to explore the Glenlivet Estate, north eastern Cairngorms and Speyside Malt Whisky Trail. With a central square and many Georgian and Victorian buildings the village is a great example of an 18th century Scottish Highland planned village.
Within the Glenlivet Estate there are over one hundred miles of easy access walking and biking trails and those looking for more active outdoor pursuits can enjoy horse riding, clay pigeon shooting, fine fishing beats, and in winter a variety of snow sports which are available at the nearby ski resort.
