About The Dava Way

The Dava Way is a walking and cycling path which generally follows the course of the former railway line between Grantown-on-Spey and Forres. It stretches over 38 kilometres from Grantown-on-Spey in the Cairngorms National Park to the fine country town of Forres in the county of Moray. Mostly following the line of the old Highland Railway Line, it provides traffic-free walking and has a fine gradation of scenery from the Spey at Grantown.
