    The Loch Morlich to Nethy Bridge Walk is a fun one-way trail in Cairngorms National Park that will lead you through a variety of terrain with scenic views. While out walking the trail, you will leave the picturesque shores of Loch Morlich behind to traverse the hills to the northeast, after which, you will pass through a vast atmospheric stretch of woodland terrain on the way into Nethy Bridge.
