Ride off the beaten path in Galloway, the gravel cycling capital of the UK
Explore the rugged southwest of Scotland on a gravel bike tour and experience miles of scenic forest, riverbanks, and coastal trails.
Gravel biking in Galloway, southwest Scotland, is an undiscovered gem in the UK's growing gravel bike scene. This wild and beautiful region offers hundreds of miles of trails winding through forests, hills, and along the stunning coastline. Unpacking just once, you’ll stay at a charming village hotel on this gravel cycling vacation. Each day, we’ll explore the best gravel riding the region has to offer—from fast riverside and lochside trails to challenging climbs and rolling coastal paths.
