The Dava Way ...walk the walk ...........


The Dava Way path links the historic towns of Forres and Grantown-on-Spey. The total distance from the centres is 24 miles (38km), of which 22 miles (35 km) are in open countryside.

Almost all of the route follows the old Highland Railway line and is off road and safe from traffic. From the Moray Firth this unusually varied railway walk winds its way from sea level up to Dava summit at 1050 feet (320 metres) before descending into Strathspey. Along its length it passes through a pleasant mix of farmland, woodland and moorland.

This variety makes the Dava Way path one of the best long distance walking paths or off road cycling routes in Scotland.

The Steading holiday cottage is only a few hundred yards from the Dava Way and provides the perfect base for a walking holiday in the area.
