Other walks in the area

Walking Horse Isles Bay - Palnackie

Tourist office
↔2.45 km ↗+57 m ↘-76 m ◔0h 50 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Dumfries and Galloway

This walk brings you to Horse Isles Bay. You can also extend to White Port beach which is known as Palnackie's swimming beach. Many beaches on the Solway Firth are secluded and sandy, but this local beach has the advantage of having a reasonable slope meaning that when the tide is in the water gets deep enough to swim quite near to the shore. It is also possible to cycle the whole way on mountain bikes.

Walking Torr Point Loop - Auchencairn

Professional from the tourism industry
↔6.81 km ↗+32 m ↘-41 m ◔2h 00 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Dumfries and Galloway

This is another lovely walk which visits a secluded sandy beach, then an easy amble across fields to a rocky headland with great views, before looping back through woodland. As so often in Dumfries and Galloway, it is possible to have these beautiful places all to yourself. This route is rarely visited.

Walking Balcary Cliffs

Professional from the tourism industry
↔5.45 km ↗+78 m ↘-73 m ◔1h 45 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Dumfries and Galloway

The loop from Balcary Bay, along the cliffs to Rascarrel beach is a beautiful walk. An exhilarating cliff top walk with far reaching views. There are three route options so you can choose a walk of different lengths. Or, if you don't like heights, you can miss out the cliff section altogether - but then you would miss the section with the best views.

Walking Mersehead to Southerness

Professional from the tourism industry
↔13.91 km ↗+4 m ↘-4 m ◔4h 00 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Dumfries and Galloway

A level coastal walk with long vistas, lonely beaches and a choice of lengths starting at RSPB Mersehead... This is a lovely walk at all times of year, but it is particularly interesting in winter when the migrant birds gather in their thousands at Mersehead RSPB Nature Reserve.

Walking From Southerness Lighthouse to Carsthorn

Professional from the tourism industry
↔7.01 km ↗+10 m ↘-11 m ◔2h 00 ▲Easy

⚠️You need to check the tide before walking this route. However, an alternative is still available.
