The Speyside Way
The Long Distance Route

Section 2 - Spey Bay to Fochabers

Distance:
5 miles
Grade:
Easy
Start:
Spey Bay, by the Wildlife Centre
Finish:
The path arrives in Fochabers by coming under the A96 and along to the information board near the cricket pitch.
Circular options:
There is a circular option within Warren Wood, using the forest road and the riverside track, otherwise no.
Terrain:
Riverside and forestry tracks, some grassy path.
All abilities?
No barriers, but a tricky section on top of the river embankment at the Birks where the track is squeezed between road and river. Can be by-passed by a short section on the B9104 - take care!
Other access points?
Limited roadside parking available at the Birks. Also possible to access the route via the Garmouth Viaduct, from Garmouth.
