Our ‘Activities' leaflet at the Park details most routes in the local Dalbeattie Forest and trails commence just 300 yards from the Park entrance.

Dalbeattie Forest, one of the ‘Seven Stanes' is accessed only 300 metres from the Park entrance. In all there are over 17km of cycling trails linking Dalbeattie to Colvend, Sandyhills and Kippford; these three villages being just a short ride outside the Forest itself.

Gentle Family Routes are suitable for the whole family, with clearly marked trails, leaflets are available at Reception. We will happily advise on alternative cycle areas, many only a few miles from the Park.

The ‘Seven Stanes' are a group of 7 forests especially developed for cycling in the area providing the South & West of Scotland with arguably the most varied and finest cycling in the UK. One of our local routes has been named in ‘Mountain Bike Rider' as amongst the 10 best rides in the world! 17km of Hard Rock trails including the famous ‘Slab' are amongst the finest anywhere, and only 5 minutes ride from the Park. We offer a washdown point and a small climbing ‘traverse' wall for those still with energy to spare!
