Aden country park in Mintlaw, Aberdeenshire, is a 230 acre country park in the heart of Buchan. Aden offers a warm welcome, beautiful surroundings, and a wide range of events, facilities, and things to do for individuals, families, and groups to enjoy.
Aden, often referred to as “the jewel in the Buchan crown” has been recognised as one of the country’s best green spaces with a prestigious Green Flag Award. The awards recognise and reward the best parks in the country and Aden impressed the judges with its excellent use of green space, well-maintained facilities and high standard of safety and security.
Situated in the heart of the park lies a semi-circular farmstead building built around 1800 and a coach house built in 1832. This now houses the award winning Aberdeenshire Farming Museum, containing a Recognised Collection of National Significance awarded by the Scottish Museums Council (SMC).
Other facilities on offer at the park include The Café at Aden, Aden Craft & Gift Shop, children’s play area, picnic and BBQ sites, walks and trials, Hareshowe Farm, North East Folklore Archive (NEFA), Arc Recording Studio, Book of Deer Visitor Centre, ice cream kiosk, SANDS and carers/sensory gardens, outdoor gym, dog agility and exercise area, horse arena and bridleway, car parking, toilets, and of course an enjoyable stay at the 4 Star Aden Caravan & Camping Park.
