I have been to two sites within the forest park, Kirroughtree and Glentrool. Both outstanding area's of natural beauty. Whether you are walking or on your bike, you will not be disappointed. The Forestry and Land Scotland, obviously do an incredible job of keeping these area's for all to experience. Well done to all of those who work there 👏

A beautiful place! Visited at the end of June and we had a mix of sun and rain. We drove over to Kirroughtree vistor center and did the yellow trail, which took a couple of hours at a slow pace. Then went on to see the deers at Red Deer Range, highly recommend! You can take them an apple or carrot and they will get up close to you. Then we drove along Raidors Road, which wasn't really worth it. Overall, a beautiful place to visit and lots to see and do!

Galloway Forest is a lovely place, with a circular walk around loch trool, starting from the car park. Easy access and the scenery is amazing, on the left side of the loch you can visit Bruce's Stone.

Galloway Forest Park is a hidden gem worth discovering. The drive there is half the adventure, winding through breathtaking landscapes with panoramic views that make every turn exciting. Once inside the park, you're surrounded by a tapestry of rugged mountains, serene lochs reflecting the sky, and ancient woodlands filled with the whispers of history. For hikers, there's a trail for every pace, from leisurely walks to challenging climbs. Mountain bikers will love the exhilarating routes that wind through the park's diverse terrain. Anglers can find peace by the lochs, casting lines into clear waters teeming with fish, while wildlife enthusiasts can spot red deer and varied range of bird species. A highlight of Galloway Forest Park is its Dark Sky Park status, a haven for stargazers seeking pristine night skies. On clear evenings, the stars illuminate the heavens, offering a breathtaking spectacle. Whether you're drawn by adventure or simply crave tranquility in nature's embrace, Galloway Forest Park promises an unforgettable experience with its natural beauty and diverse activities.

Galloway Forest Park is a stunning destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. With vast woodlands, lochs, and hills, it offers breathtaking scenery and a real sense of peace and remoteness. There are plenty of well-marked trails for walking, cycling, and wildlife spotting. It’s also a designated Dark Sky Park, making it an incredible place for stargazing. Facilities like visitor centres and parking are well-maintained, and there’s something to enjoy in every season. A perfect getaway for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty of Scotland.

It's a dog walker, hiker paradise. Loads of trails and expanses of nature. Amazing wild life, with frequent sightings of deer, red kites, goats, etc.. A less manicured, much quieter lake district in many respects.
