Infrastructure and Active Travel routes

Throughout Moray there is a wide network of Active Travel routes and ‘place making facilities’ such as seating and cycle parking. There are many initiatives undertaken to encourage people to walk, wheel and cycle more for everyday journeys. One such initiative is the development of informative Active Travel documents for all settlements with a population over 1,200. We have identified the following (clusters of) settlements:
Aberlour Dufftown Keith
Buckie Elgin Kinloss and Findhorn
Burghead, Cummingston and Hopeman Fochabers and Mosstodloch Lossiemouth
Cullen Forres Rothes

These ‘Active Travel’ documents give a broad overview of existing Active Travel infrastructure, the area-specific ‘behaviour change projects’ in and around the settlement, and possible future schemes suggested by members of the public. Interested groups may be able to obtain details from the document on any suggested scheme or initiative to support their objectives.

To date, one document has been completed.

Work on the remaining settlement documents have begun and will be completed over the next few years.

Maps of the various settlements and their Active Travel networks can be found by clicking on this link.

In addition to the above-mentioned informative Active Travel documents, other organisations or groups have made various types of maps. These are:

There are a number of long-distance cycling routes and paths, all segregated from traffic, throughout Moray. These are:

  • Dava Way - rough unbound terrain
  • Speyside Way – mixture of different terrain in between Aberlour and Cragganmore
  • Rothes Way – in development, will connect with Craigellachie
  • Elgin – Lossiemouth Active Travel route – a cycle track segregated from the carriageway (A941 and B9135) by a verge
  • Forres – Findhorn - a cycle track separated from the carriageway (B9011)
