With the Galloway Forest Park, the celebrated 7 Stanes trails and Drumlanrig Castle biking trails, we have something for everyone to enjoy here in Dumfries and Galloway.



Check out our three very different Off Road / Mountain Biking experiences - which ones suit you?



Leisure Off-Road


mountain biking in Mabie Forest
A great way to explore the Galloway Forest Park and other spectacular off-road tracks. Our stunning scenery provides the perfect backdrop to get off the beaten track and visit areas of special interest including nature reserves, historic monuments or you can just to head out for a lovely picnic in the countryside. You have the space and the freedom in Galloway to ride from just a few hundred meters to hundreds of miles off road - the choice is yours.


Mountain Biking Trails


Mountain Bikers will love riding our natural and man made single-track trails as well as forest tracks including the world famous 7-Stanes Centres, Drumlanrig Castle and many other way marked routes. From easy flowing green and blue graded routes to the more demanding and challenging red routes, Galloway has something for all mountain bikers to enjoy. Galloway really is Mountain Biking Heaven.


Extreme Mountain Biking


DM in Dalbeattie forest before going to Australia
Ideal for experienced riders who are out for a blast or a new challenge. Packages can include orange graded trails like the Omega Man at Ae forest, a downhill jump track, or even the full on Ae downhill with big drops and gaps including the Ae Stepdown. You can test your balance skills on the most technically demanding, hair-raising 2 kms of timber trail northshore in the UK at Mabie. And if you want to get away from trail centres we can help you plan freeriding opportunities and discover some natural downhill tracks.
