Walkers are well catered for in Portpatrick with spectacular cliff paths in both directions where you can follow the path past Dunskey Castle to Knockinaam or past several secluded bays to Killantringan Lighthouse. The walk from the village to Killantringan is the start of the Southern Upland Way.

Take a trip to Mull of Galloway, Scotland’s most southerly point, where you will find a fabulous lighthouse and the RSPB nature reserve. From here you will get the most amazing views of Ireland, England, Isle of Man and Scotland, it really is well worth a visit. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, there are some delightful gardens to visit including the world renowned Logan Botantical Gardens and Glenwhan Gardens.
