'Experience the wild solitude of Scotland’s dark sky parks, whilst taking in deep history, delightful villages and stunning scenery at every turn' – New long-distance bikepacking route launched in Britain

Gallovidian Gravel trail.

The British bike charity Cycling UK announced the opening of a brand new, multi-day bikepacking trail this week, called Gallovidian Gravel, which traverses the terrain of Dumfries and Galloway in the south of Scotland.

Cycling UK has established a growing network of riding trails across the country, including the Royal Chilterns Way, King Alfred’s Way, Rebellion Way and Traws Eryri - but this is its first route located entirely north of the border, in Scotland.
