SURROUNDING AREA
Newtonmore is surrounded with a rich tapestry of history and natural beauty. Attractions and historical points of interest can be found close by, including ruined outlines of early villages and settlements as well as evidence of the old mill at the Luib beside the River Calder. The striking ruins of Ruthven Barracks can be visited, further down the River Spey. The Barracks were burnt down by the retreating Jacobite Army on 17th April, 1746.
Newtonmore is situated within the Cairngorm National Park, a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. There are endless opportunities for activities such as hillwalking, mountaineering, skiing, water sports and many other outdoor pursuits. Four Munros can be climbed from Glenbanchor in one day.
There is fishing on the Spey and lochs by permit. Cycling and mountain-biking opportunities criss-cross the area. For those drawn to longer distance trails the Speyside Way begins in Newtonmore stretching over 100 miles to the Moray Coast at Buckie through some of Scotland’s most breath-taking landscapes. Just 20 miles north lie the Cairngorm Mountain Range offering snow sports in winter and hillwalking during the rest of the year. Newtonmore is also the home of pony-trekking which is available locally.
