쉬운 이스트 스튜어트리 코스트 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

After an entertaining walk up through woodland, the path steepens until you gain the ridge. The views from here are wonderful: west and north to the Galloway Hills beyond Castle Douglas; south and east over Auchencairn Bay and Rough Firth towards the Solway Firth and the hills of the English Lake District.

Screel Hill is a 344m hill overlooking Auchencairn Bay and the Solway Firth with excellent views across to the English Lake District. The excellent path up the east ridge was badly damaged by fallen trees during Storm Arwen in 2021 and these have not been closed so the upper section of the path has been closed. However a new path cuts across to meet the upper path above the damaged section so it is now possible to walk the upper section of the lovely east ridge again.

This knarled, windblown old hawthorn tree grows out of the shell beach and is such a spectacular sight that it was voted as British tree of the year in 2021

Although it's only a relatively modest hill, rising straight from sea level it feels like a real mountain. It's a great adventure with kids as only a fairly short walk gets you to a rocky summit with outstanding views over forest and sea

Beautiful scenes across the Southwick Water river toward the Solway Firth from this section of the footpath.

Enjoy this beautiful, unspoilt gem of a waterfall located near Heugh Wood in Dumfries. The water tumbles down a rock face into a glistening pool below, creating a perfect opportunity for a summer dip.

Park at the path to the grave yard

Spectacular Rockcliffe beach set in the picturesque village of Rockcliffe. Go for a dip, grab a refreshment, or just take a break and enjoy the views.
