Dalbeattie’s Adventure Centre
HOME FOR your Next adventure
ACTIVITIES, ACCOMMODATION AND A FRIENDLY TEAM
Rocks and Wheels is a unique activity centre in Dalbeattie. A brand new facility formed from the buildings of an old primary school, we welcome all ages and abilities. Here you can try bouldering inside, get on your bike outside, eat well and stay in comfort. We can be a short stop for thrill-seekers, a special venue for events and celebrations, or a base for groups and families to explore Dumfries and Galloway. With our strong sense of community and so much scope to go wild close by, we’re the ideal destination for your next adventure.

Its welcoming, airy space flows into a sizeable refectory area, which provides plenty of further seating. The viewing area makes it a great place to catch sight of climbers tackling The Wa’ – our awesome indoor bouldering wall.

You’ll find us in the town of Dalbeattie, within Dumfries and Galloway, southwest Scotland. We’re less than 100 miles by road from Glasgow and Edinburgh, and under 40 miles from the border with England. Dalbeattie Forest – with its 7stanes trail – is across the road from our centre, while the stunning coast of the Solway Firth lies less than five miles to the south.
We take accessibility seriously at Rocks and Wheels. The pump track is suitable for all types of wheels – including skateboards and scooters. And everything’s on ground level in our buildings, including a bedroom with a wet room and wheelchair space. We also offer disabled parking (access from Southwick Road) and are home to one of only eight official Changing Places Toilet facilities in Dumfries and Galloway. CPTs are larger, accessible toilets with specialised equipment such as hoists, curtains and adult-sized changing benches.
