The Moray Way

A collection of Moray ways for walking, horse riding, cycling, sailing and canoeing

The Moray Way website features a comprehensive collection of Moray ways for walking, horse riding, cycling, sailing and canoeing to help you get out in beautiful Moray. Whether you want a holiday, dog walk, to improve your fitness or are seeking adventure; there’s a route for you.

The health benefits of spending time outdoors cannot be overstated. With this in mind, there is a special section within the site focusing on ‘health walks‘. Health Walks are short, safe, social, fun, and accessible low-level walks that have been specifically selected to encourage more people to take regular modest exercise.

You have the “freedom of Moray” through a right of responsible access to the countryside established by the Scottish Land Reform Act of 2003. The routes featured are designed to help you get the best out of Moray’s great outdoors.
