Spey Viaduct/Bridge Notice

Please note that the Spey Viaduct Bridge is closed – we are currently updating all routes affected by this closure.

Moray Council have suggested the following: The viaduct connecting the Speyside Way and the village of Garmouth is closed, with the nearest alternative crossing of the river Spey located at Fochabers, approximately 3 miles upstream. This can be reached via the Speyside Way on the east side of the river. On the west side of the river, there is no pedestrian path connecting Fochabers to Garmouth. A quiet, unclassified road is available, but it should be used with care due to the limited verge. The river can be crossed at Fochabers either via the old road bridge, which is now for pedestrians only, or via the pavement alongside the A96 road bridge. (Please take care when crossing public roads)

The Moray Way website features a comprehensive collection of Moray ways for walking, horse riding, cycling, sailing and canoeing to help you get out in beautiful Moray. Whether you want a holiday, dog walk, to improve your fitness or are seeking adventure; there’s a route for you.

The health benefits of spending time outdoors cannot be overstated. With this in mind, there is a special section within the site focusing on ‘health walks‘. Health Walks are short, safe, social, fun, and accessible low-level walks that have been specifically selected to encourage more people to take regular modest exercise.

You have the “freedom of Moray” through a right of responsible access to the countryside established by the Scottish Land Reform Act of 2003. The routes featured are designed to help you get the best out of Moray’s great outdoors.
