The Wildcat Trail, Newtonmore

---

A 10 km orbital path around the tranquil and peaceful village of Newtonmore in the Cairngorms National Park.  If you are walking in Aviemore we are a 10 minute drive away. 

The Trail is enjoyed by those who are reasonably fit.  Stout footwear is advised.  The trail can be accessed at 6 different points and can therefore be walked in sections if you prefer.

Some sections of the Trail are low lying and may be waterlogged after wet weather.  It is always worth checking the local weather conditions before setting off.

The Trail passes along the banks of the River Spey, high above the river gorge of the River Calder and by a pretty waterfall at the Allt Laraidh. It crosses moorland and winds its way through established woodlands. There are magnificent views of the Cairngorm and Monadhliath Mountain ranges from many sections of the path.

The path crosses croft land and livestock may be present.  There are some stiles and stepping stones to negotiate.  Dogs are welcome if under control.

You walk the Wildcat Trail at your own risk. 

It is recommended walkers wear stout footwear.

Please close and fasten all gates where appropriate.
