  • Kirkcudbright and Auchencairn
    WALKING 1 in and around Kirkcudbright & Auchencairn The natural place to walk 2 3 Kirkcudbright The journey from Kirkcudbright to Auchencairn covers some of the most spectacular stretches of coastline in Dumfries and Galloway, fringing the Solway Firth and looking across to the distant hills of Cumbria. The two make the most of their coastal setting, boasting their own individual charms and personalities. Kirkcudbright is a busy fishing and farming town situated on the River Dee estuary. Known as Kirkcudbright Artists’ Town, it has a thriving artistic community and has been a source of inspiration for many well- known artists, including E A Hornel, Jessie M King, E A Taylor and Charles Oppenheimer. The town of Kirkcudbright is home to galleries and museums, where exhibits often illustrate this stunning area of Dumfries and Galloway. Enjoy a stroll along the River Dee or explore the coast towards Dundrennan, savouring the peace and quiet and fresh air. MacLellans Castle, Kirkcudbright MacLellans Castle, The village of Auchencairn dates from the early 17th Century. The village grew around the corn mill and the oldest buildings are 2 those nearest the mill. Smuggling was once rife 3 and Balcary House (now Balcary Bay Hotel) was reputedly built from the proceeds. Today, it is quiet and unspoilt. Several craft and specialist businesses operate successfully here but it is predominantly a farming community. The Smugglers Inn in the village serves food, as does the Balcary Bay Hotel. Kirkcudbright, Auchencairn and the surrounding countryside have long been great places to discover on foot. The rugged coastline offers superb views across the Solway to the Lake District together with the chance of spotting razorbills, fulmars and kittiwakes among others.

Its close proximity to the coast, neighbouring forests and hills make it a great area to explore. The rich history of the town goes back at least to the Iron Age, when settlements on artificial islands, known as crannogs, were built in Carlingwark Loch. The scenery and wildlife make walking a pleasure in this area. From the tall douglas firs in Doach Wood to the butterflies at Threave Gardens in the summer, these walks will take you through a wide variety of habitats including woodland, marshes, farmland, wetland and moorland, all of which are within easy reach of Castle Douglas. In spring and summer, there is an abundance of wildflowers and butterflies to enjoy. In winter you are treated to the spectacle of huge flocks of geese in and around Threave Estate. Loch Ken/River Dee, also notable for its wildfowl, is set in one of the most scenic and unspoilt parts of Galloway and is designated a Regional Scenic Area. Parts of some walks are Wood Doach along roads. These are mostly B-class or unclassified minor roads, but there are a few short sections or crossings of A-class roads.
