Description

Get up close to some of Galloway's resident deer The Red Deer Range was established in 1977 to give our visitors the chance to see these beautiful creatures up close in a natural environment. Around 60 red deer live here today watch for them from the viewing area and hide. Whatever the weather, you can enjoy spotting deer and other wildlife from the shelter of the hide. Meet the deer with our Rangers Pay on the day. Cash only. Please bring exact change. April - Tuesday 23rd, Wednesday 24th, Thursday 25th: 12 noon May - Tuesday 28th, Wednesday 29th, Thursday 30th: 12 noon July September - Monday Thursday, 12 noon If seeing red deer up close isn't exciting enough already, this is also a fantastic place to stargaze. Because it's so dark, the Forest Park is one of the best places in the world to enjoy the stars which is why it has been designated a Dark Sky Park. On a clear night the stars are so bright that you don't need a telescope or even binoculars to enjoy them.
