  • Dog-friendly site within walking distance of the river Spey
  • Within half an hour’s walk of Aberlour and the Speyside Way
  • Surrounded by hiking and biking trails, with shops and eateries nearby
Whisky connoisseurs, hiking aficionados and all those touching down in Speyside for an active or relaxing break will be very well-based at Speyside Gardens Caravan Park. For starters, the dog-friendly site is in prime Speyside whisky country on the Malt Whisky Trail, with whisky distilleries within walking distance. For seconds, half an hour’s walk away is the Speyside Way, a 66-mile walking or cycling path along the river Spey. That also means that the river Spey is within walking distance of the site, and with that comes easy-going mornings spent salmon fishing, kayaking or wild swimming, before dining on something tasty (with a side of whisky perhaps) in the local villages. Aberlour, 25 minutes’ walk away, is known as the home of Walker’s Shortbread and has a whisky distillery. Craigellachie, half an hour’s walk away, has a further two whisky distilleries (whiskies are sold in the village shop there too, of course). This village has access to the Speyside Way and the gorgeous Craigellachie Bridge. Pubs, restaurants, a butchers and local shops are spread out across the two spots. With six acres to its name, Speyside Gardens Caravan Park really is a scenic spot. It’s within a Victorian walled garden home to a cluster of local wildlife, including a number of red squirrel residents. There are hiking, mountain biking and road biking routes all around the site too, which should be very good news for the active types.

What customers say

Grand spot, lovely and quiet, staff are sound, and the loos are warm. Great for the Speyside Way and distilleries. A bit pricey for the wash, could do with more space for the dog and Wi-Fi's a trek.

Local attractions

A little walking can get you to some real-good views from Speyside Gardens Caravan Park, whether it’s the river Spey or the Linn Falls (45 minutes’ walk), a wild swimming spot. Dufftown (10 minutes or an hour and half’s walk) is a little longer of a trek, or a short drive. Mad about its malt whisky, the village has plenty of distilleries and a whisky museum. In Elgin (25 minutes), there are more Scottish distilleries, of course. Save some time among your distillery tours to check out Elgin Cathedral and one of Britain’s oldest museums, which has been standing since 1843. While the whisky distilleries, walking trails and river Spey give Speyside visitors plenty to rave about, the Scottish coast is also within driving distance. There are two sandy beaches in Lossiemouth (35 minutes), along with the Moray Golf Club old course over the sea (a bucket-list item for many keen golfers).
