Overview

This circular walk follows the banks of the beautiful River Spey downstream from Aviemore, before returning on the Speyside Way. There are great views to the distant Cairngorms. Mostly good paths and tracks; narrower across rougher grassland on one section. There’s the chance for coffee/tea at Route 7 café after the walk.
