Map 2 

Central Cairngorms 

The map on the opposite page shows the proposed core paths network for the Central 
Cairngorms. Only the paths shown in the table below are labelled; the other paths 
shown will appear on more detailed maps later in the document. The paths proposed 
within this area have been chosen as they best fit with the objectives of the Core Paths 
Plan and have been identified during the consultation process. In particular these paths 
will help people to enjoy the Park’s natural heritage responsibly. The paths selected are 
the most popular paths in the area as identified during the consultation process. The 
paths selected also provide long distance links between the communities in the Park 
and cater for a range of activities. 

These paths pass through an area of challenging terrain and conditions can be such 
that people need to be self-sufficient and well-equipped. The paths selected are those 
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 Outdoor Access Strategy8 there is a presumption against 
waymarking in wild, remote and mountainous terrain and there would be no further 
signposting or waymarking of these paths as a result of core path designation.
