Carrick Bay Gravel Track

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Wonderful gravel track that runs alongside Carrick Bay. Hard packed and rideable surface with great views across the water to Wigtown.

Tip by

33.1 km

Ruins of Sir Thomas MacLellan’s tower house in Kirkcudbright. The building is currently closed (Sept 22) for some masonry renovations, but you can still see plenty from the roadside. You also get a good view of the harbour from here.
