The new Spey Bridge was built in 1931. It's noted for the wide but shallow arch and was the second longest single span bridge in the UK when built. It carries the A95 across the Spey and offers great views of the river. Do watch out for trucks if you stop though as it's not very wide.

View of the Northern Cairngorms from Carr-Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the B9153 - A95 junction it's safe to stop and have a look at the awesome views up towards the northern Cairngorms.
The A roads here are fast (for bikes and vehicles) and sometimes have big lorries so you need to watch out. Cycling is popular here though, so bikes shouldn’t be a surprise for drivers and the roads are fun to ride fast. There are lots of smaller roads you can escape onto if it feels a bit busy.

Old Packhorse Bridge, Carrbridge

Highlight • Bridge

The beautiful old bridge is not far from the parking lot. Connected with a circular path, it goes along the river and back through the forest.
