Castle ruins on the edge of the Caerlaverock National Nature Reserve. You can easily spend a few hours exploring the ruins and grounds of Castle Wood. There is now a great tea room and visitors centre for refuelling. Don't miss the scones!

The camp site has removed the sign posts.. ignore the one way and go past the underwhelming pods round the gate and your good to go.. please remember to alert the council of the obvious attempt to block the route..
