About Phoenix Trail

 

Due to tree felling operations this trail will be diverted from 9/1/2012. Please observe all diversion signs. The red graded Phoenix Trail is a mixed cross-country route in stunning woodland, with ‘natural’ trails complementing classic 7stanes singletrack.

For full details of the Phoenix trail, including a trail map, see the 7stanes website.

How to get there:

Phoenix Trail 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.
