The Estate extends to just over 50,000 acres of heather clad hills, ancient Caledonian woodland, policies and of course the beautiful River Dee is nearby. Over the past 150 years careful stewardship by the owners, The Royal Family, has preserved the wildlife, scenery and architecture which is available for all generations to enjoy. In her journals Queen Victoria described Balmoral as "my dear paradise in the Highlands".

If you've had fun on your family day out to Balmoral Castle, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
