The Dava Way is a 23 mile (36 km) path that links the historic towns of Forres and Grantown-on-Spey. Almost all of the route follows the old Highland Railway line and is off road and safe from traffic. It is an unusually varied railway walk that winds its way from sea level to 1050 feet (320 metres). Along its length it passes through a pleasing mix of farmland, woodland and moorland as you journey from Strathspey to cross Dava Moor before descending to the Moray Firth. This variety makes the Dava Way path one of the best long distance walking paths or cycling routes in Scotland. It provides an important link between the Speyside Way in the south and the Moray Firth Trail to the north. This beautiful part of North East Scotland has much to offer the visitor and is still relatively undiscovered by walkers and outdoor enthusiasts. On a clear day as you cross Dava moor you are rewarded with views to the north over the shire counties of Nairn, Inverness, Moray, Ross & Cromarty, and Sutherland whilst to the south the Cromdale Hills and the Cairngorm Mountains dominate the skyline
