The Dava Way is a 38 km (24 mi) long-distance path that mostly follows the route of the former Highland Railway between Grantown and Forres.

[4] Although in 1860 Inverness had a rail link to the south via Aberdeen, this was circuitous and involved a change between two railway stations in the town.

[12] The 38.25 km (23.8 mi) long route from Grantown-on-Spey in the Cairngorms National Park to Forres in Moray mainly follows the old railway line.

Starting from Grantown and heading north, the path crosses Dava Moor where it reaches its summit of 321 m (1,052 ft).

[13] Continuing to Dunphail, the River Divie is crossed by the old railway viaduct, used today as the symbol of the Dava Way.
