The rugged coastline, rippling hills and verdant valleys of Dumfries & Galloway mean excellent trails and sublime views for walkers, cyclists and nature-lovers. There’s much wildlife to spot too: red deer, kites and eagles, an elusive otter deep in Galloway Forest which also happens to be a Dark Sky Park with Gold Star status. Visit the arty harbour town of Kirkcudbright, the atmospheric ruins of Caerlaverock Castle and any number of colourful gardens thanks to a microclimate that makes this region the mildest in Scotland. From our cosy collection of special places to stay you’ll have this enticing part of Scotland at your feet just waiting to be explored.
