Such a stunning area. Loads to do and see. Various Lochs. Raiders Road is also a great visit, be sure to stop at Otter pool along the way. One of our favorite area in lower west Scotland. Lots of Red Kites and we even found an Adder relaxing on a footpath.
An amazing walk around Loch Trool. This dog friendly Park is a beautiful escape from everything. Open 24 hours, so it is perfect for star gazing since there is no light pollution. There are 3 visitor centres. I went to Glentrool cafe, which is wheelchair friendly, with a great selection of cakes and tray bakes gluten free too, as well as hot panini and sandwiches that you can buy when the kitchen is open, from 12 - 4. However the roads to get there are quite windy and narrow. It is £4 for parking for the whole day. There are 4 routes to pick from, from a 6 miles loop around the Loch to 1 mile path perfect for cycling, so there’s something for everyone.
We had a great time at the Galloway Forest Park. It is so vast and there is so much to do there. Me and my family walked up to Bruce's Stone two of us Nordic walking. The stone was interesting to read up on and there were great views of the loch below. We also walked through the forest to the loch's edge which was also invigorating and picturesque, offering plenty of photographic opportunities. The trails looked good for cycling we didn't have our bikes with us but plenty of people did. We spent the day there and only really touched the surface. You could easily stay nearby and explore something different each day for a week. We stopped off at the goat reserve and the red deer refuge - both which were great for our daughters and us. Whether you like hiking, cycling, generally exploring or seeing animals up close, you'll have a great time here.
Amazing scenery, long but plentiful walks and plenty of choice to decide where you want to go. We went to the visitor centre south of the main park and chose the white walk. Took us around 2 and a half hours and was greeted by amazing views. Pack a small lunch and make a day of it.
Amazing "Dark Skies" Park, with designated overnight campervan carparks see the website for details, some of them are even free. Some fantastic Lochs Lakes to wild swim in and stay fresh, but please be sure to only use biodegradable and wildlife safe soaps. Amazing place to wild camp, and you will find many well used pitches, most with firepits already built. Beware the mighty midge mosquitoe if visiting during warm season, they will attack in the hundreds and eat you alive if they like the smell of your breathe...only thing I know for sure that works against them is to build a smokey fire and stay close to it. So much wildlife it's unbelievable, from deer, to otters, birds of prey, frogs, squirrels, sheep, horses, cows. Very well looked after, and you may see and be able to speak to some of the park rangers, they are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Restrooms: Basic, but scattered around and we'll signposted and locations available on Web site Dog-friendliness: Very dog friendly cafes and everywhere you go you meet people with dogs. Picnic area: Lots of designated picnic areas.
Better weather next time lol please.. First frost of the year 16/09/22 so we found Loch Doon... we decided to bivvy up for the night before heading to scotland woke up in the morning and everything was frozen, was pretty! But cold haha.
Every cyclist should come here, very little traffic and stunning scenery to cycle through. From MTB to Gravel to Road place has it all. Should be a National Park, beautiful Scotland at its best.
Did not get to visit all of Galloway Forest Park but we did enjoyed quite a few stops as part of the park. Very lovely countryside, well maintained and lots of walks and trails to take part in. If you are in the area then definitely take a moment to plan some walks in this beautiful wooded area
An absolutely stunning part of the world and so very underrated it's never nearly as busy or touristy as other places
Just on the edge of the Galloway Forest is the Fairy Knowe trail which now has a fantastic Fairy Village on the lower walk. Created by residents and schoolchildren of Barr
