Stranraer is the gateway to the Rhinns of Galloway. It holds a rich history as a bustling ferry port connecting south-west Scotland to Northern Ireland. The Castle of St John is an iconic landmark in Stranraer. It dates back to 1500 and stands proudly in the heart of the main street. If you have time, I would visit Castle Kennedy Gardens, which is located 3 miles east of the town. It has a magnificent castle, two lochs, a grand lily pond, and an avenue of beautiful monkey puzzle trees.

Beautiful loch acting as a natural harbour for ships and ferries.

Loch Ryan - a stunning port, populated by fishing boats and ferries alike. Plenty of bays around the loch to stop and take a break/paddle, as well as partake in a bit of sea bird spotting.

New Loch sits in the Ross Plantation forest, next to the smaller Old Loch. Loads of wildlife, especially birds on display as you ride passed. A good place to stop for a breather.

Knockquhassen Reservoir is nestled in scenic upland countryside on the Rhins of Galloway. You get a nice view of the reservoir from nearby Mulloch Hill, on the southwestern edge of the water. The reservoir supplies fresh drinking water to the local area.

White Loch (also known as ‘Loch of Inch’) is separated from Black Loch (also known as ‘Loch Crindil’) by a narrow land bridge. On this strip of land you find the impressive ruins of Castle Kennedy and Lochinch Castle. Black Loch’s waters are much darker due to peat, hence the names.
