Aberdeen City is a 20-minute drive and provides all the transport links, leisure, recreational and entertainment facilities expected from the oil capital of Europe. The mainline railway station provides a good service to Edinburgh and onwards to London, and Aberdeen International Airport provides both domestic and international flights. The airport can be reached by car comfortable in around 20 minutes. Amenities in Echt include a village shop and post office, a church, village hall, primary school and nursery, a first-class Indian restaurant, and a six-acre community park with playgrounds and playing fields. There are also many fine country walks nearby and a 9-hole golf course in the nearby Dunecht Estate. Within a 10-minute drive are three historic National Trust properties, Castle Fraser, Crathes Castle, and Drum Castle, all offering woodland walks, gardens, nature trails and play areas.
