Pitmedden is a little village in Aberdeenshire's Udny parish, and it's an excellent place to start exploring the region because of its proximity to the countryside and the fact that it's just about seven miles from the shore at Newburgh. In addition to a café, small store, tavern, and takeout spot, the village also has everything else you need for a self-catered stay. The Pitmedden Garden, maintained by the National Trust for Scotland, is the town's most famous landmark. It features five miles of perfect boxwood hedges planted in creative patterns, as well as 80 different species of apple trees and stunning fountains. While just twenty miles away you can visit the enchanted castle of Fyvie Castle, another National Trust for Scotland site, where you can have a tour of the sumptuous rooms and hear of the folklore and even ghost stories that continue on today at the Museum of Farming Life. Nearby, in the old village of Tarves, which was probably established about the year 600 AD, you'll find a typical butcher shop where you can stock up on fresh, regional meats for your self-catered meals. The Newburgh Seal Beach and the Foveran Links Nature Reserve and Golf Course are worth the trip outside of town. Take a great holiday to the picturesque Pitmedden.
