HORSE RIDING IN GALLOWAY FOREST PARK
| As will be seen from the accompanying map
Galloway Forest Park is large, the biggest Forest park in Great
Britain. Contained within its boundaries are some 400 miles of
forest road. In Galloway Forest Park there is open access for horse riders
on all of the forest roads. It presents an ideal opportunity to get away from road traffic and enjoy our
magnificent hill scenery. Remember though that it's a working forest
and there may be timber operations taking place. |

 You
are advised to contact the Recreation Forester at Newton Stewart, Tel. No.
01671 402420 to make sure that you can safely access the forest at the
place(s) you plan.
Much of the diversity of Scotland is captured in Galloway;
our mixture of heathery hills, mountain lochs and spectacular scenery.
Seen from horseback you quickly feel at one with the ruggedness and apparent
isolation of it all.
Visit too the Forestry
Commission's website which has lots of information.
