Recreation at Dalbeattie Forest
Colour rating today: going yellow 
Take a stroll through your local wood and you'll feel that autumn is in the air. Some leaves on the trees are already turning to shades of yellow and gold, encouraged by the cold spells we've been having recently. Tree species putting on a colourful show at the moment include - hazel, horse chestnut and sycamore.
How to get there:
Dalbeattie Forest is part of Forests of the Solway Coast. Dalbeattie, Colvend, and Castle Douglas are the nearest towns or villages.
