The Dava Way is a long distance cycling and walking trail which follows the old railway line from Forres to Grantown-on-Spey. It's about 38km in total. The surface is mostly left as gravel which is quite chunky in some sections but it's flat.

Was difficult to find start in Forres, just on residential street, started from Dallas Dhu instead. Gradual uphill gradient most of way to Grantown. Much quicker on way back. Would recommend wide tyres as sections are rough with the railway stones.
