クラッターリングショーズロックでののおすすめツーリングルート

Stunning spot!

I’ve seen this bothy on YouTube via:#thehappyhippie & a few others & although I won’t be lucky enough to visit myself my adventurous seester just might so would like some more info. I’ve seen some, what one hiker called, “poltergeist” activity caught on video. Strange activity has been reported ranging from: anxious feelings overnight caused by noises that make the visitor feel like someone else might be arriving all the way up to furniture actually moving on its own but it seems like the level of activity you get depends on the weather &/or your beliefs since the people hearing noises didn’t really claim to be “believers” but the ones who saw furniture moving most definitely were + there was a furious storm raging outside making it an even harder choice for leaving & getting soaked or staying & getting scared, lol. Not trying to poke fun or anything but should me seester decide to explore that area again I’m pretty sure it’s something she’d be interested in so would like some more info about the shepherd who built it or if perhaps there’s any “local” type of story that might give a potential reason for the things people have actually caught on camera?!? Regardless I’d like to thank everyone for sharing whatever you can since this is how we, as siblings, tend to spend time together… I do the research and she enjoys the travel & if you knew us growing up you’d have thought it be the other way around but life doesn’t always go as you’d hoped but I will say this much, as both of us are avid believers in the idea that just because it’s unexplainable doesn’t make it impossible & paranormal is possible because in this life we’ve learned one thing for certain & that is that at the end of the day… “stranger things have happened!” Thanks again for sharing & remember: Bsmart+Bsafe=Bhappy!! TTFN ✌🏼

There is a good car park at Clatteringshaws by the Loch of the same name but sadly the Visitor Cenre and Toilets are now permanently closed. This is a good place to visit Bruce's Stone (One of many) and for walks up Benniguinea and Cairnsmore.

another terrain shot to help you decide on tyres/bikes for the route

This area has very chunky gravel

There are hot dishes, soups and homemade cakes. Of course also souvenirs

Clatteringshaws Loch is a reservoir in the Scottish Lowlands. It is about five miles west of New Galloway in Galloway Forest Park in the Council Area Dumfries and Galloway. The southern shore offers a wonderful view over the lake.

Striking dam that creates Clattringshaws Loch. You can't walk along the dam or get too close to the loch from here but it's a great structure to look at.

Clatteringshaws Loch is a freshwater reservoir that was created by damming the Galloway River Dee as part of the Galloway Hydro Electric Scheme. The dam is pretty cool and there are loads of good benches and picnic spots to rest and appreciate the amazing views. There is also a visitors' centre by the loch to welcome visitors to Galloway Forest Park.

Looks like there's a parking spot below it

This 10 mile stretch of the NCR7 south from Clatteringshaws Loch is well worth it - off road bike necessary though

Perfect gravel road suitable for almost any bike.

Great little bothy. Two rooms for sleeping plus a small kitchen room

Great spot to rest the legs- toilets, benches and potential bivvy spots!

Great starting point for all sorts of hikes and off road rides. The café offers very generous sandwiches on bread of your choice, including gluten free, various sorts of cakes (the carrot cake is gluten free). A good place to sit down after a hard day 👍.

One of the only places where you can recharge in the area. But beware the opening hours. It is not open daily

Can't get to the dam at the moment but has the best views to it in winter.

Very pretty views but make sure to go on a clear day to get the most out of it
