The Smithy Café, Tearoom & Gift Shop

Highlight • Cafe

Lovely little café in new Galloway with tables inside and out and food served quickly. Good idea to book ahead as it can get busy and there aren't many cafes in the area. Closes at 3pm on a Sunday.

Clatteringshaws Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

Striking dam that creates Clattringshaws Loch. You can't walk along the dam or get too close to the loch from here but it's a great structure to look at.

View of the Dam and Stone Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Can't get to the dam at the moment but has the best views to it in winter.

Clatteringshaws Loch is a reservoir in the Scottish Lowlands. It is about five miles west of New Galloway in Galloway Forest Park in the Council Area Dumfries and Galloway. The southern shore offers a wonderful view over the lake.

New Galloway Community Shop

Highlight • Rest Area

Really nice grocery store in New Galloway with plenty of local products. Also, The Cross Keys hotel next door is great. The host Susan, and her dog Claude, are very welcoming, and the rooms are clean!
