Public Transport

The official Speyside Way website (see Appendix B) has a Guide to Public Transport which provides an excellent map and contact details for all the relevant services in the area covered by the Speyside Way, Dava Way and MCT. Also very useful is ‘Cairngorms Explorer, Travel without a Car’, published annually by the Cairngorms National Park Authority and available at local Tourist Information Centres (TICs) and National Park offices. This booklet contains timetables and other information on the bus and train services within an area from Grantown-on-Spey in the north to Dalwhinnie in the south, and from Laggan in the west to Ballater in the east. Using these two sources of information it is possible to plan public transport along the three official trails.

Accommodation

There is little shortage of B&B and hotel accommodation in the Spey valley, from Newtonmore downriver to Fochabers. Similarly on the Moray coast from Forres to Cullen, there are plenty of places to stay. Booking accommodation in advance is advisable, particularly during the main summer season and on bank holiday weekends. The internet is ideal for finding and booking accommodation, otherwise local TICs have lists of accommodation and will be pleased to recommend and, if necessary, book B&Bs or hotels on your behalf.
