Walk details
In the northern foothills of the Cairngorms you’ll find the magnificent Scots pines of Anagach Woods – and that’s where our walk is today.

Surrounding the town of Grantown-on-Spey, Anagach Woods offers some of the finest low level walking in the Highlands. Throughout the woodland there are plenty of way marked trails you could choose from that range from 1 to 4 hours long – our walk takes you on a short section alongside the River Spey before we loop back to where we started.

Keep an eye out for capercaillie, crossbills and red squirrels. If you have time – we recommend a visit to the nearby RSPB osprey centre and nearby Loch Garten. And the whiskey distilleries for a wee dram.

Remember to prepare properly before heading out on any type of walk or outdoor activity. Tell people where you are going and what time you are expected back. As Wainwright says "There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing".
