Attractions and nearby amenities
Situated near the mouth of the River Nith that flows into the Solway Firth, Dumfries is a historic market town that locals know as Queen of the South. Come on a pilgrimage to ‘Rabbie’, the poet Robert Burns, or view fascinating sights from the Camera Obscura.
The Robert Burns Centre in Dumfries contains many original manuscripts by the Bard, as well as an audio-visual display of his life. In the evenings, the centre transforms itself into a film theatre, hosting some of the latest blockbusters and art-house movies.
A day at Drumlanrig Castle is fun for all the family, with everything from culture and history through to mountain biking and adventure playgrounds. The 90,000-acre estate has miles of beautiful walks, and there’s a famous Rembrandt masterpiece to admire in the castle too.
Another castle well worth a visit is Caerlaverock. This beautiful medieval ruin has a unique triangular structure. One firm favourite with visitors is the tearoom, open throughout the summer and in weekends during the winter.
Watch ospreys hunting for food, or glimpse bats gliding and diving through the evening air. Threave Garden is a wildlife haven, with eight species of bats and lots of raptors including red kites and peregrine falcons. The gardens themselves are magnificent too.
Galloway Forest Park is the UK’s largest forest park, with heather-clad hillside, majestic and rugged rocks and lochs mirroring the grand mountain scenery. This huge park is home to a stunning variety of wildlife, with deer all around you and birds of prey soaring overhead.
At the Crichton Estate you’ll find an arboretum with a bewildering array of rare plants and trees. Paths through the garden take you past the waterfall and ornamental pond and into the beautiful rose garden.
