Stone Arch Bridge on EuroVelo 12, Nairn

Highlight • Bridge

To avoid the busy A96, the Eurovelo 12 and 1 simply cross under it along the river, which you can then follow for a while. Very pretty, a little narrow but easy to ride if you are careful.

Merrytown Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

A small and narrow bridge over the Nairn, which is a wonderful car-free alternative to the A96 bridge. Warning, not for extremely wide drivers and you have to contend with oncoming traffic 😜.
