Cairngorms Nation­al Park Core Paths Plan – Devel­op­ing Act­ive Places

Fore­word The Nation­al Geo­graph­ic Magazine called the Cairngorms Nation­al Park one of the 50 greatest places on earth. The Park is blessed with arc­tic alpine moun­tains, wide straths, the mag­ni­fi­cent Cale­do­ni­an pine forest and beau­ti­ful rivers and lochs. Space, tran­quil­ity, nature, open skies and sea­son­al change are found here and can help people cope with their busy, stress­ful lives. The Nation­al Park is a shin­ing jew­el in Scotland’s crown and is a spe­cial place to love and a fant­ast­ic place to visit.

Access­ib­il­ity for all is the main reas­on why this superb land­scape is much loved and stirs the emo­tions of so many people. The Core Paths Plan iden­ti­fies the most import­ant and well used paths through­out the Park and forms the back­bone of our out­door access network.

Through Act­ive Cairngorms, the phys­ic­al activ­ity and out­door access strategy for the Nation­al Park, our goal is to get res­id­ents and vis­it­ors using the Park for phys­ic­al activ­ity one a day. Our Core Paths Plan helps to cre­ate act­ive places to make this goal a real­ity. We aim to make it easi­er and safer for people to move around the Park whatever their age, abil­ity or back­ground; to be more phys­ic­ally act­ive, to learn about, care for and appre­ci­ate wild­life and cul­ture in the Nation­al Park.

Core paths can make a dif­fer­ence to every­one who lives in the Cairngorms Nation­al Park or enjoys vis­it­ing the area. We want people to walk or cycle to school and work safely and for vis­it­ors to have an out­door exper­i­ence in the Cairngorms that is second to none. I believe our work in devel­op­ing core paths can influ­ence changes in beha­viour that can last a life­time and help more people live longer and with health­i­er lifestyles.

Enjoy the outdoors!

Fac­al-tois­ich Thuirt an iris Nation­al Geo­graph­ic gur e Pàirc Nàiseanta a’ Mhon­aidh Ruaidh aon de 50 àite a b’ fheàrr air an t‑saoghal. Tha bean­ntan arc­tic alpine sa Phàirc, srath­an far­sa­ing, a’ choille ghi­uthais Chaillean­nach, aibh­nichean bòid­heach agus lochan. Tha far­saingeachd, sìth-thàimh, nàdar, adhar fos­gailte agus ath­ar­rachadh nan ràithean rim fao­tainn ann an seo agus is urrainn dhan seo daoine a chuideachadh leis a’ bheatha thrang làn ual­laich a tha aca. ​‘S e neam­h­naid dheàlrach ann an crùn na h‑Alba a tha sa Phàirc Nàiseanta agus is e àite sòn­raichte a tha ann air­son a bhith a’ fuire­ach ann agus àite mìorbhaileach tadhal air.

Is e ruigsin­neachd do na h‑uile am prìomh adhbhar a tha daoine cho dèid­heil air an t‑sealladh tìre iongantach seo a bhios a’ brosnachadh aignid­hean mhòran. Tha am Plana Prìomh Shlighean a’ sòn­rachadh nan slighean as cudro­maich agus as trice a bhit­hear a’ cleach­dadh air feadh na Pàirce agus a tha mar chnàimh-droma ar lìonra air a’ bhlàr a‑muigh.

Tro Mon­adh Ruadh Gnìom­hach, an ro-innleachd cur-seachadan cor­porra agus cothrom ruigsinn air a’ bhlàr a‑muigh air­son na Pàirc Nàiseanta, is e ar n‑amas luchd-còm­h­naidh agus luchd-tadhail a thàladh gu bhith a’ cleach­dadh na Pàirc air­son cur-seachad cor­porra aon uair san latha. Tha ar Plana Prìomh Shlighean a’ cuideachadh gu bhith a’ cruthachadh àitean inntin­neach gus an amas seo a thoirt gu buil. Tha sinn ag amas a bhith ga dhèanamh nas fhasa agus nas sàbhailte do dhaoine a bhith a’ glu­as­ad mun cuairt na Pàirc ge bith dè an aois a tha iad no cò às a tha iad; a bhith nas gnìom­ha­ich, a bhith ag ionnsachadh mu dheidhinn, agus cùram agus ùidh a ghabhail san fhi­adh- bheatha agus sa chul­tar a tha sa Phàirc Nàiseanta.

Is urrainn do na Prìomh Shlighean eadar-dhealachadh a dhèanamh do na h‑uile a tha a’ fuire­ach ann am Pàirc Nàiseanta a’ Mhon­aidh Ruaidh no ris am bi e a’ còrdadh a bhith a’ tadhal air an sgìre. Tha sinn air­son ​‘s gum bi daoine a’ coiseachd no a’ dol air baidh­sagal chun na sgoile no chun obair gu sàbhailte agus do luchd-tadhail fèin fhios­rachadh den bhlàr a‑muigh a bhith aca sa Mhon­adh Ruadh nas fheàrr na gheib­headh iad an àite sam bith eile. Tha mi dhan bheachd gun urrainn an obair a tha sinn a’ dèanamh ann a bhith a’ leas­achadh prìomh shlighean, buaidh a thoirt air dòigh giùlain dhaoine a mhaire­as fad am beatha agus a chuidi­cheas daoine a bhith beò nas fhaide agus le stoidh­lean beatha nas fhallainn.

An dòchas gun còrd e ribh a bhith air a’ bhlàr a‑muigh!

Intro­duc­tion Intro­duc­tion The inter­na­tion­al repu­ta­tion of the Cairngorms Nation­al Park makes it a ven­ue for a wide range of out­door activ­it­ies, access and recre­ation. The Land Reform (Scot­land) Act 2003 provides a right of respons­ible access to most land and water with­in the Nation­al Park.

The Cairngorms Nation­al Park Author­ity (CNPA) has a duty under the Act to pre­pare a Core Paths Plan. Sec­tion 17 (1) of the Land Reform (Scot­land) Act 2003 states that the core paths net­work should be:‘ … suf­fi­cient for the pur­pose of giv­ing the pub­lic reas­on­able access through­out the area’.

The Core Paths Plan helps people to enjoy and under­stand the spe­cial qual­it­ies of the Cairngorms Nation­al Park by identi­fy­ing out­door access oppor­tun­it­ies. The path net­work will sat­is­fy the needs of vis­it­ors and loc­al people to get around, and link to the wider path net­work and bey­ond. The net­work is made up of a mix­ture of exist­ing and new paths, which togeth­er provide a cohes­ive system.

Vis­ion for the Core Paths Plan The Core Paths Plan helps to deliv­er the vis­ion for the Nation­al Park:‘An Ous­tand­ing Nation­al Park, enjoyed and val­ued by every­one where nature and people thrive together’.

In par­tic­u­lar, the Core Paths Plan will help people to enjoy and under­stand the spe­cial qual­it­ies of the Cairngorms Nation­al Park by identi­fy­ing a net­work of paths which offer a wide range of high qual­ity out­door access opportunities.

Object­ives of the Core Paths Plan The core paths net­work will: a) help to con­serve the Park’s nat­ur­al and cul­tur­al her­it­age and encour­age people to enjoy it in a respons­ible way; b) help those liv­ing and work­ing on the land man­age access; c) help to deliv­er the pri­or­it­ies for each area iden­ti­fied in Act­ive Cairngorms; d) provide for a wide range of activ­it­ies; e) provide for a wide range of abil­it­ies; f) include a wide range of pop­u­lar routes; and

g) include paths with­in, around and between com­munit­ies and to pub­lic trans­port con­nec­tions and places of loc­al importance.

Deliv­er­ing the Core Paths Plan Every­body — landown­er, pub­lic agency, com­munity group or developer – can con­trib­ute towards the devel­op­ment of the Core Paths Plan. Act­ive Cairngorms sets three themes that the Core Paths Plan will help deliv­er – Act­ive Places, Act­ive Man­age­ment and Act­ive Promotion.

The Cairngorms Nation­al Park Author­ity will use the Core Paths Plan to pri­or­it­ies resources and path devel­op­ment pro­jects. It will use the Core Paths Plan to sup­port vis­it­or man­age­ment plans on sens­it­ive sites and it will ensure core paths are way­marked and sign­posted so that they can be pro­moted by com­munit­ies and partners.

Landown­ers, pub­lic agen­cies and com­munit­ies can use the Core Paths Plan to man­age where people go on their land, take account of recre­ation­al needs in devel­op­ment plan­ning and ensure the access needs of com­munit­ies are met and incor­por­ated into plan­ning and development.

Links to oth­er plans and pri­or­it­ies The Core Paths Plan helps to deliv­er oth­er key strategies and pri­or­it­ies in the Nation­al Park, for example the Cairngorms Nature Action Plan and the Caper­cail­lie Frame­work through enga­ging the pub­lic in the Park’s spe­cial qual­it­ies and help­ing landown­ers man­age access around sens­it­ive sites.

The Core Paths Plan will also inform large scale infra­struc­ture pro­jects pro­tect­ing and enhan­cing access oppor­tun­it­ies, for example along the A9 cor­ridor or in and around pro­posed new development.

Mon­it­or­ing pro­gress The suc­cess of any plan is based on being able to demon­strate that some­thing has been achieved. The CNPA will con­tin­ue to mon­it­or the deliv­ery of the Core Paths Plan on a bien­ni­al basis assess­ing if the net­work is ​‘fit for pur­pose’. A core path that is ​‘fit for pur­pose’ is bar­ri­er free, sign­posted at both ends and the path sur­face should be suit­able for the likely range of users.

Map I — Cent­ral Cairngorms These paths pass through an area of chal­len­ging ter­rain and con­di­tions can be such that people need to be self suf­fi­cient and well equipped. There is a pre­sump­tion against des­ig­nat­ing a large net­work of paths in the upland areas and areas of wood­land. Those paths des­ig­nated are the link­ing routes which are already well used and well known. They all have green and white Right of Way sig­nage at either end and appear in a vari­ety of leaf­lets and books about the Cairngorms. In the Act­ive Cairngorms strategy there is a pre­sump­tion against way­mark­ing in wild, remote and moun­tain­ous ter­rain and there will be no fur­ther sign­post­ing or way­mark­ing of these paths as a res­ult of core path des­ig­na­tion. Vis­it­or pres­sures, such as erosion from cer­tain activ­it­ies will be man­aged in a sens­it­ive way to pro­tect the fra­gile envir­on­ment, man­age land­scape impact and will fol­low best prac­tice in upland path repairs.
