This waymarked multi-user route follows forest roads between Ae Village and Earshaigs.
Especially suited to off-road horse riding, the route crosses the Ae plateau with some stunning views.
How to get there:
Countryside Trail can be started from Naze Car Park in Forest of Ae which is part of Forests of the Southern Uplands. Ae, Dumfries, Moffat, and Thornhill are the nearest towns or villages.
Follow the A701 from Dumfries or Moffat. Take a turning just south of Parkgate, signposted for Forest of Ae and follow this road for two miles.
At the crossroads in Ae Village, turn right and follow the signs for the cycle car park.
