Rocks & Wheels Dalbeattie

Rocks & Wheels is a national-level, floodlit pump track in Dalbeattie, built by Velosolutions UK and described as South Scotland's largest. A separate beginner pump track sits alongside the main circuit, and the site forms part of a wider community activity centre including a cafe, bunkhouse accommodation and bookable event space.

The Pump Track

  • Competition-standard main circuit of around 250m, with rollers, triples, quads, step-ups, step-downs, S-turns and a split-line option.
  • Designed to be ridden section by section or as full laps, suiting both short practice sessions and longer runs.
  • Separate beginner pump track with scaled-down features for newer riders building confidence.
  • Floodlit for year-round use, with space for events. The venue hosted a Velosolutions UCI Pump Track World Championship qualifier in June 2026, with ambitions to host further British Pumptrack Series or UCI-level events.

Facilities

  • Cafe serving food and drinks.
  • Bunkhoose: onsite bunkhouse-style accommodation.
  • Space hire: bookable rooms and event space.
  • Indoor bouldering wall, The Wa', opening soon.
  • Currently open Friday to Sunday, 12pm to 8pm (check their website or socials for the latest, as this may be subject to change).

Getting Here
