Nature in Aberdeen
Pack your fishing rod, hitch a boat on the back of your car and spend a day out fishing on Lake Glenbawn or Lake St Clair. Burning Mountain Nature Reserve, about 40 km from Aberdeen, is well worth a visit.
About Aberdeen
Located on the New England Highway, just south of Scone, Aberdeen offers a preview of the magnificent horse studs that are a feature of the Upper Hunter region. You can see many of these opulent studs from the highway; if you'd like to visit a horse stud, check to see which ones offer stable tours.
Aberdeen is set in lush, grazing country by the Hunter River. On the Upper Hunter Wine Trail, you'll find well-known vineyards with cellar doors, boutique wineries and up-and-coming stars of the region. Tyrrell's Glenbawn Estate Vineyard at Aberdeen is worth a visit while Two Rivers Wines and Cruickshank Callatoota Estate are both at nearby Denman.
Aberdeen makes a superb base for visitors who want to make use of the outstanding watersports facilities at Lake Glenbawn, just a few kilometres to the east. Spend a day water skiing, swimming, sailing, canoeing, sailboarding or fishing in this unique Hunter Valley destination.
