Wildlife parking, rough access
RSPB, AB45 3JN, Banff
Been here?
An RSPB car park a short walk from a viewpoint overlooking a large gannet colony, with possible dolphin and whale sightings. It offers coastal walks, cliff views, and wildlife watching, and dogs are allowed on the nature reserve. The access road is long and bumpy, large vehicles are unsuitable, and there are no facilities.

Great place to park and observe wildlife. We saw no signs banning overnight stays, and dogs are clearly permitted in the nature reserve.
It is a hidden parking area right at the end of a road that you think has already ended at the last farm. Neither the road nor the parking area is suitable for large vehicles. Overnight stays are prohibited. There are no facilities. The path along the cliff and the gannet colony are beautiful and a truly memorable experience.
Small, peaceful car park at the end of a very bumpy road. In August, the coastal walk to see gannets is spectacular, with superb cliff views. We had the place to ourselves, with no wardens or warning signs. Respectful campers should find it a wonderful off-the-beaten-track stop, but there are no bins, water, or electricity.
