Mabie

Mabie cafe and bike hire

Mabie is a firm favourite in the Dumfries region, with fantastic blues and reds through the Mabie forest. But what sets Mabie apart is the 'Dark Side', 3.8km of extreme boardwalk and jumps; a trail not to be taken lightly and reputably the hardest trail on these shores.
