Dava Way

‘The Dava Way is recognised as one of Scotland’s Great Trails and is unquestionable one of the country’s finest long-distance walking and off-road cycling routes. It follows the old Highland Railway for 24 miles (38km) between the historic towns of Forres and Grantown-on-Spey.’ The Dava Way website
