The Moyle Hill Trail covers a considerable distance without any real technical difficulties, although there are a few climbs to contend with. The route provides a good introduction to riding singletrack and to the granite rock that gives Dalbeattie its distinctive character. Some grand views too.

The Hardrock Trail is characterised by narrow singletrack with lumps of granite across the trail to help you stay alert. The trail winds along rough singletrack to the infamous Slab. It’s a great ride for the technically adept and there are also optional black sections along the way.
