Quote Use postcode DG1 1QB to reach Ae forest, then follow signs for the trail head. The OS Grid Reference for Ae trail head is: NX982901. From Dumfries Take the A701 towards Moffat and the A74(M). After about 10km, look for signs to Ae village. Take the left turn off the A701 to the village. Go through the village (about 4 km from the turn off) and turn right into the Forestry Commission area. The 7stanes car park is signposted. Go past the Forestry buildings turn left onto the minor road. The car park is 500m further along. From Glasgow Follow the M74 south to junction 15 (Beattock) and join the A701 towards Dumfries. After 19km look for the second turn off for Ae village on the right. Take the right turn off the A701 to the village. Go through the village (about 4 km from the turn off) and turn right into the Forestry Commission area. The 7stanes car park is signposted. Go past the Forestry buildings turn left onto the minor road. The car park is 500m further along.
