🇬🇧 Crovie: The Cliffside Ghost Village That'll Steal Your Heart 🌊
Perched on Aberdeenshire’s rugged coast, Crovie is a time-capsule fishing hamlet where the 19th century feels frozen in amber. No shops, no Wi-Fi—just crashing waves, creaking cottages, and the occasional seal bobbing in the North Sea. 📍 Getting There: 🚗 1.5hr drive from Aberdeen → Park at the clifftop lot (don’t even THINK about driving down!) → Descend the sheep-track-steep path to the village. (Pro tip: Wear grippy shoes—it’s a slide in the rain!) 🌊 How to “Do” Crovie (Spoiler: Do Nothing): ✅ Walk the Sea Wall – A ribbon-thin path wedged between pastel cottages and sheer drops to the ocean. Whispers and gull cries only. ✅ Boulder Meditation – Plant yourself on a rock. Watch tides lick granite. Maybe spot dolphins (or just hallucinate from the serenity). ✅ Photograph the “Unreachables” – Some cottages are only accessible by boat at high tide. Peak drama. 📸 Golden Hour Magic: When the sun hits the mica-flecked cliffs, the whole village glows like a Turner painting. Hot Take: This isn’t a “destination”—it’s a mood. Come for the existential decompression. 📍 Crovie, AB43 8JP Ever been somewhere so quiet it hurt?
