The Galloway Forest Park, (also nominated as Britain's first Dark Sky Park) provides plentiful tracks and trails for walkers and mountain bikers of all abilities. It is excellent for star gazing due to the low levels of light pollution and also bird watching including a Red Kite Trail. Slightly further afield are the nationally important wildfowl reserves of rspb Mersehead and Caerlaverock WWT
