Tips

March 21, 2023

Cycling

An excellent traffic-free path which is a former railway line that is part of NCN route 7. It offers stunning views of the meandering River Cree.

Road cycling

The whole of National Cycle Network route 7 is a delight, but this segment the route designers must have been in a mischevious mood, very narrow, a 30% gradient (signposted) and lots of gates that you need to open to continue your journey. This section helps cyclists avoid the busy main road if you're of a more timid nature, personally the main road is better than this segment but its still worth cycling this segment at least once to see it and the views across the landscape.

Road cycling

The gates were a bit annoying but it’s only a short section which has them and the rest of the route from Creetown to Newton Stewart is a delight. Avoiding cycling on the busy A75 with lorries thundering past every couple of minutes is worth any small inconvenience.
