Location Benefits

King’s Gallop benefits from an accessible location for commuters and families. Major road links include a straightforward connection to the A90 and the AWPR (Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route) city bypass, facilitating easy travel north and south, and to nearby commercial hubs like Kingswells and Westhill. Regular bus links operate within Countesswells connecting residents to Aberdeen city. The development is strategically located for outdoor pursuits, with Countesswells Forest providing walking and cycling trails.

Specific local amenities are an integral part of the Countesswells masterplan. The community benefits from the recently opened Countesswells School (Nursery to Primary 7, AB15 8NF, opened 2023) within the development. Secondary school catchment information should be confirmed with Aberdeen City Council, though Hazlehead Academy is located approximately 0.6 miles from the wider development area. A Sainsbury's Local is already operational and within a short walking distance of the new homes, alongside developing parkland and other retail amenities.
