Dumfries & Galloway - things to do /see

[Unlikelylass]

I’ll be in D&G this summer for a week, any suggestions for interesting places to visit and things to do? Have a car. Seems to be lots of castles which is good, and Wigtown for the bookshops.

We loved it when we visited - so beautiful. We did ice cream making class at Cream o’ Galloway which was fun with kids

We used to love this too when DS was small. Sadly it closed down last year.

There is s chocolate factory if your DC are young with an adventure area too. Cocobean twynholm

Definitely take a drive on Raiders Road to Otters Pool. Gorgeous scenery and photo ops, and otters pool is incredible for paddling!

We visited a few years ago and went to Dock Park with the DC which they loved. Eldest DC enjoyed taking photos of the Treenis on the way there😂

Just recently back from Cumbria and on the way back home they enjoyed looking out for the Treenis again 🙄😂

If you want a beautiful beach ( and we love rockliffe as well) then drive along the main road to Mossyard. It’s a left turn past gatehouse of fleet. You drive through a farmyard and the there is a small car park. Walk behind the car park for 5 mins and it opens up to a wonderful beach with views and plenty of space for beach combing. The sea is safe to swim and paddle in.
