Local walks

The routes worth knowing — from a flat riverside hour to the glen behind the town.

The riverside path, Rothes

3.2 km Easy Free parking Dog-friendly

An easy hour along the water from the centre of Rothes — flat, pram-friendly, and quiet by mid-morning. The light is best an hour after sunrise.

The glen & waterfall loop

6.8 km Moderate Lay-by On lead (livestock)

A steeper woodland circuit up into the glen, finishing at a hidden fall that runs gold after rain. Boots in winter; worth it in any season.

River & glen

The Spey, woods & distilleries

Salmon water, birch woods and the malt trail — Speyside at its quietest.

The Spey at Rothes

Riverside Flat Free parking Dog-friendly

Gentle riverside paths along one of Scotland’s great salmon rivers — herons, old bridges, and the Speyside Way threading through. Flat and open the whole way.

The distillery trail

5.0 km Easy Visitor centre On lead

A walkable loop linking the local distilleries through birch woods and barley fields — the air smells of malt, and there’s a dram at the end if you want one.
