Message from Tom & Laura

Galloway Forest Park is a stunningly scenic haven for adventure seekers and we'd recommend trying to spend at least a day here.

There’s so much wildlife to see in this area (make sure to stop off at the Red Deer Centre, for example), as well as miles of ancient woodlands, cycling tracks and stunning scenery. The perfect place to slow down and switch off. 

We’d recommend stopping for lunch beside one of the main rivers or burns along the Raider’s Road (a famous forest drive in the area), or taking a longer walk around the scenic Loch Trool. You can even take out kayaks on Loch Ken.

Night-time in the park also offers something totally new. Galloway Forest Park is an official dark skies park (one of only four in the world), so the opportunity for late night stargazing here is simply out of this world!
