Chinney Field Walk


(Average user rating: unrated unrated)

About Chinney Field Walk

A short walk on good paths, circling the Chinney Field, and returning to the car park over the Mabie Burn.

Take a moment to visit the old sawmill which was once used to process timber from Mabie Forest.

How to get there:

Chinney Field Walk can be started from Mabie Forest Car Park in Mabie Forest which is part of Forests of the Solway Coast. Dumfries and New Abbey are the nearest towns or villages.

From Dumfries, follow the A710 New Abbey road. The forest is signposted four miles south of Dumfries.

Please note that 'Mabie Farm Park' is signposted just before the entrance to the forest, but there is no vehicle access to the forest from here.

The nearest train station is in Dumfries.
