Kirkcudbright Quay

Highlight • Settlement

Pretty and lively quay with loads of restaurants and cafes. There's a good view of the bridge(s) and Maclellan's Castle so it's a nice place to stop for a break.

Knockbrex Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Apparently James Brown (not that one) bought the estate for £14,000 in 1894, and immediately filled it full of cars.

Often referred to in historical documents as "The Toy Fort", you can now rent the castle on Air BnB!

An excellent traffic-free path which is a former railway line that is part of NCN route 7. It offers stunning views of the meandering River Cree.
