Cycling Treasure Hunt

About Cycling Treasure Hunt

A fun family easter treasure hunt - with a twist! The quest must be taken using a bike to reach the locations on the treasure map (but don't worry as they will all be easy to get to on the green/easy grade family trail).

How to get there:

Cycling Treasure Hunt starts at Ae Cafe and Bike Shop in Forest of Ae which is part of Forests of the Southern Uplands. Ae, Dumfries, Moffat, and Thornhill are the nearest towns or villages.

Follow signs for Forest of Ae off the A701, just south of Parkgate.

OS Grid Reference: NX984894
