Though close to Dalbeattie and Ae, Mabie sits between the two and offers something different. While Dalbeattie is all hard granite trails and open, sweeping vistas, and Ae resembles a fun park, with its manmade trails, jumps and bumps, Mabie offers something akin to a more natural mountain biking experience.
Here you will find softer trails, with roots a more common obstacle than rocks. However, fear not, these trails have been constructed with mountain bikers in mind, and there is some great single-track – downhill and uphill.
Recent work has refreshed several sections of the red-graded Phoenix Trail. There has also been a new makeover for Vadars Lair, the introduction to The Dark Side Trail. Mabie also boasts some fantastic blue and green trails, which provide a great introduction to single-track riding.
The onsite Grierson & Graham cycle centre can arrange bike hire, retail sales and repair and there is also a café offering refreshments and a wood-burning stove, ideal for drying off after a wet day of biking.
