The nearby campsite (https://silvercraigscaravanpark.co.uk/) is an excellent place for cyclists, reasonably priced and quiet

The pedestrian bridge is one of the oldest in Scotland. Built in 1432, it crosses the River Nith in the town center and offers scenic views.

Nice Cafe, also a public loo in the Abbey car park which is in good order and well looked after.

Unfortunately the Abbey is currently closed to public access because of the risk of falling masonry. Let’s hope they get it open again soon.

One of the oldest standing bridges in Scotland crosses the River Nith in Dumfries. Devorgilla Bridge is also sometimes known as Devorgilla's Bridge or the Old Bridge and is named after Devorgilla, Lady of Galloway, the mother of King John Balliol. All the land to the west of the River Nith traditionally formed part of Galloway, which only truly became part of Scotland during Alexander II's reign in the 1230s. Dumfries was therefore a frontier town for much of its early history and had grown up on the east side of a ford that provided the lowest crossing point of the River Nith. By 1186 the town was sufficiently well established to be made a Royal Burgh. According to some sources the first bridge was built across the River Nith at Dumfries during the 1260s by Devorgilla, Lady of Galloway. No trace of this bridge has ever been found, and if it existed at all it seems very likely that it was made of wood. There is rather more evidence for the immediate predecessor of the bridge you see today. Construction began on a stone bridge in about 1430, and a papal indulgence of 1432 recorded the Pope's approval for a call for subscribers to pay for the completion of the bridge. This bridge survived for a little under two centuries before being partially destroyed in a major flood in 1620 or 1621. Once more accounts differ, but it seems that the east half of the bridge was swept away and what was left might well have been severely damaged. https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/dumfries/devorgillabridge/index.html

Great Abbey Ruin to visit. and have a look around, you can't go inside. The café opposite is great, well worth a visit.

The taster area is a great place to practice your skills with loads of way-marked options from blue, red and black over a couple of KM loop. Like the rest of the Dalbeattie trails, most of the features (of all colours) are lumps of big granite rock to test yourself on

Please be aware of opening times. Don't expect it to be open over weekend:)
