Discover the lively waters that meet at picturesque Loch Trool on scenic trails beneath the mighty Merrick.

Many of the centres also have skills areas for you to practise your technique. The Forest Park is a great place to watch wildlife. See the wide variety of woodland birds that visit the feeders or flutter in the canopy overhead, including great tits, goldcrests and crossbills. Red squirrels and roe deer are also regular visitors to the woods around the centre, especially early in the morning and at twilight. Explore the rolling Galloway glens and hills to discover picturesque forest trails, three friendly visitor centres, wonderful wildlife and a long and colourful history. Newton Stewart is only a mile away and offers plentiful shops, bars and restaurants. The towns of Kirkcudbright, the artists’ town; Castle Douglas, the food town; and Gatehouse of Fleet, with its famed Cardoness Castle, are all worth a visit.
