Galloway Country Fair :Raehills St Ann's A701 Nr Moffat Dumfries and Galloway, DG11 1HQ, United Kingdom, 01557 860259, jane@gallowaycountryfair.co.ukThe Galloway Forest Parkhttp://www.gallowaycountryfair.co.uk09:35 10-Sep-2010Southwest Scotland, affectionately known as the Highlands of the Lowlands; The wild beauty of Britain's largest forest park at three
hundred square miles with over 400 miles of track is waiting to be
explored. Experience Galloway Forest Park with its host of natural features,
from seashore to mountain tops and its outstanding variety of plants
and animals.
In the Park there is open access for walkers, cyclists, bikers (2 of the world famous 7stanes courses lie within the Park) and horse riders on all of the forest tracks. It presents an ideal opportunity to get away from road traffic and enjoy the magnificent hill scenery. Much of the inland part of Dumfries and Galloway is within this massive area but the Park extends west into South Ayrshire, and outlying Forests of Dalbeattie and Mabie come within sight of the main regional capital of Dumfries. The Forestry Commission is changing the woodlands into a less-industrial habitat of greater attraction to both wildlife and the discerning visitor. Parts of the Park are a birdwatcher's paradise; Barn Owls and Crossbills are not common elsewhere, but they, Buzzards, the occasional Golden Eagle, and most of Britain's raptors, can be found in this area. visit: www.gallowayforestpark.com |
