Kirroughtree
Galloway Forest Park’s gateway centre.
Galloway Forest Park is the largest Forest Park in Britain, with over 300 square miles of outstanding natural beauty.
Enjoy great walking, easy family cycling or exhilarating mountain biking at Galloway Forest Park. Or sit back and soak up breathtaking loch and mountain views and starry night skies.
Galloway Forest Park consists of 16 forests and has everything you need for a great day out, whatever the time of year. Meet red deer and wild goats or enjoy classic scenery from your car on a forest drive. You can also follow in the footsteps of Robert the Bruce or picnic beside a peaceful loch.
Galloway is home to the UK’s first Dark Sky Park – one of the best places to stargaze in Europe.
We recommend starting your trip by visiting one of the visitor hubs located at Kirroughtree and Glentrool. These are great places to learn about what the area has to offer.
