There is so much to explore in our region, but some things get especially close to the heart of the Biosphere. This self-guided tour focuses on the area around Glentrool, one of our Biosphere Communities and the only village within the boundary of Galloway Forest Park. There are plenty of options for getting around, including a fantastic network of walking and cycling trails.<\/p>\n

As you explore, see what you can spot among the flora and fauna of the Biosphere, from sundews to bluebells and from dragonflies to red kites. Let Scottish history come alive in your imagination as you find out how Robert de Bruce won his decisive battle in the glen.<\/p>\n

Have you ever encountered a runic poem in the wild?\u00a0 Spend time in contemplation as you happen upon the Biosphere\u2019s environmental art.<\/p>\n

Exploring this area will bring you right to the foot of the Merrick, the Biosphere\u2019s highest hill.<\/p>\n
