Fact Sheet - Transport and Access

This document contains information about transport and access to the Cairngorms National Park. The Park has good transport links due to a mainline railway and A-class roads, though some areas are harder to reach because of the landscape. More people are working from home since 2001, and many still use cars for commuting. The population often have to travel long distances to reach essential services in the Park. There is concern of air quality due to the dualling of the A9. The Cairngorms National Park also offers many recreational activities such as cycling and walking on trails like the Dava Way, the Speyside Way, the Cateran Trail and the Deeside Way, and water sports at Loch Insh and Loch Morlich.
