Access
The Fenland Trail is located right at the entrance to the village of Banff. There's a small parking lot at the trailhead with limited parking. So it's best to park for free at the train station public parking area - just a 5 minute walk from this trail. Press a P on the map for directions. The Fenland Trail is also within walking distance of the village. A national park entry pass is required to hike this trail (see for more info the link below).
