The Rocks and Wheels (RAW) vision is to establish in the town of Dalbeattie, in response to locally identified needs, a facility which will be unique in Dumfries & Galloway, and which will contribute significantly to the economic, physical and social health of the town and its surrounding area. To create a place where you can play, eat and sleep that energizes the body and mind.
With immediate access available to Dalbeattie Forest and the Solway Coast, it will exploit the surrounding landscape, and both complement and enhance existing facilities with an objective to encourage a healthy and active lifestyle for all ages, leading to improvement in the physical and mental health and wellbeing of those who use it.
In addition, it will make use of local resources and skills to support the town’s commercial and service economy by providing employment and by encouraging visitors to come to and stay in the area.
It will in the longer term be self-supporting through income generation and will play an important role in the area’s post-Covid recovery programme.
