Recreation at The Hills
This lowland mixed deciduous wood on the edge of Mabie Forest is being managed by Forestry Commission Scotland to encourage natural regeneration. This approach ensures that the wood develops as naturally as possible, improving the opportunities for native plants and animals such as pied flycatchers and owls.

The Hills is part of Forests of the Solway Coast. Dumfries is the nearest town or village.
The car park is signposted off the A711 Dumfries to Dalbeattie road, 5 miles from Dumfries. The nearest train station is in Dumfries.
