Travelling with kids? Alford is a handy stop. The Grampian Transport Museum here fills its sheds with cars, trams and steam vehicles, and the old Alford Valley Railway station stands in the village. Alford sits in the Howe of Alford, the fertile bowl just south of the River Don, about 13km from Insch station.
