A haven for wildlife and outdoor enthusiasts alike, it’s no surprise that Glenmore translates from the Gaelic as the \'big glen\'. You can choose to seek out some of the small but beautiful plants living on the forest floor or just savour the fragrant carpet of needles beneath the ancient granny pines. Woodland specialists like red squirrels, crossbills and crested tit can all be found and the forest is often alive with the sound of bird song. Best time to visit: All year round Getting there: Take the B970 from Aviemore towards the Cairngorms and after 6 miles you will be in Glenmore Forest Park. Go through Glenmore Village and cross the bridge over the Abhainn Ruigh-eunachan. The Allt Mor car park is approximately 0.75 mile beyond the bridge on the left hand side of the road (a green Forestry Commission Scotland sign indicates the access point). Visitor facilities: Glenmore provides opportunities for walking, cycling, orienteering, cross-country skiing and bird-watching in the Forest, watersports, fishing and sailing on Loch Morlich, camping & caravaning or simply relaxing in the peaceful atmosphere of the pinewoods.

Strathspey

The Strathspey area strictly speaking includes the whole Spey valley as it runs North-East From the North-west corner of the Cairngorms through the whisky trail towns of Aberlour and Fochabers. However the classicly beautiful and most commonly visited part of Strathspey is the area from Aviemore through Grantown-on-Spey and Boat of Garden. David Attenborough described this part of Scotland as one of his favourite parts of the world.
