Sad news regarding Dobwalls Adventure Park...

This is quite random, but I was thinking back to holidays from years ago and remember raving on about Dobwalls adventure park. It has a really good railway system crammed into a small area.

I did a quick google search and found:

After nearly 40 years, the Southern family have made the difficult decision to close Dobwalls Adventure Park.

The site is currently being transformed, fifteen contemporary lodges are under construction at the northern end of the site.
2009 will see commencement of our iconic £5.5 million Culture Centre, housing our existing gallery, but also providing a home to new local artists, along with conference facilities and a high quality restaurant.

That really is sad. I remember going there year after year when I was a kid. It's been through a few re-brandings since it was the Forrest Railway (if I remember correctly) but it looks like it's all over now.

Aww I loved Dobwalls! Really wanted to take my kids there but every time I checked there was a message saying closed, back soon or closed for refurb, so sad its gone

My kids were also gutted last year when we tried to go. Still can't believe it's shut, I remember it when I was small. Such a shame.

Still more of a shame that they pulled down a lovely family day out to build some overpriced sheds!
