Dalbeattie Mountain Bike Trails

Luke Griffiths:

A long and tough red trail that gives a lot of reasons to smile. Exciting and tricky descent push parts of this red trail close to black grade and there are certainly some very uncompromising optional black features here that I tend to look on in awe however I have ridden a few of the smaller black features which are great for pushing your confidence levels. In places the trails can be eroded quite badly while normally this just adds to the thrill in places it means that the trail is substantially harder going than when compared to Glentress red for example. The blue route is great for a beginner but while the step up from blue to red at Dalbeattie is quite sharp when aged 15 or so, still at a relatively beginner stage I was already looking to try at least bits of the red finding the blue a bit uninspiring. I highly recommend the Red route and there is also plenty of accommodation available nearby.

Fantastic skills and taster loops with some big features Great lengthy trail packed with features
