The village of Tarves, a national heritage conservation area, is only 10mins walk from Bede House. The village has two pubs, an excellent shop, village halls and church.

A few minutes drive takes you to the beach of Balmedie and Cruden Bay and to the Bird Sanctuary at Ythan Estuary.

Deeside and Donside can provide the more active with walking and cycling.

There are the rugged cliffs at Cruden Bay and the awesome Bullers of Buchan for bird watching and rock climbing enthusiasts and for the more sedate, dolphin watching at Buckie.
