MOUNTAIN-BIKING HEAVEN

A brilliant way to experience southern Scotland’s forests is by pedal power. The 7stanes (stones) are seven mountain-biking centres around the region with trails through some of the finest forest scenery you’ll find in the country. Glentrool is one of these centres and the Blue Route here is 5.6 miles in length and a lovely ride climbing up to Green Torr Ridge overlooking Loch Trool. If you’ve more serious intentions, the Big Country Route is 36 miles of challenging ascents and descents that afford magnificent views of the Galloway Forest. It takes a full day and is not for wimps.

Another of the trailheads is at Kirroughtree Visitor Centre , 3 miles southeast of Newton Stewart. This offers plenty of singletrack at four different skill levels. You can hire bikes at both of these places (www.thebreakpad.com). For more information on routes see www.7stanes.gov.uk.
