Dalshinnie Glen Walk
 

A nice extension to the (red) Chinney Field Walk, heading further up the valley and eventually reaching the Nith viewpoint and a picnic spot.

How to get there:

Dalshinnie Glen 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 4 miles south of Dumfries. (NOTE 'Mabie Farm Park' is signposted just before the entrance to the forest. There is no vehicle access to the forest from here.)The nearest train station is in Dumfries.
