Around Kirkcudbright
Whilst in a quiet residential area Tom’s Place is only a short walk from the bustling harbour, niche shops and galleries, including a new gallery of national significance which hosts exhibitions throughout the year.
Take a pleasant stroll around this lovely town, visit Broughton House and gardens once the home of E. A. Hornel. Kirkcudbright is known as, ‘the artist’ town’, having hosted a generation of painters, craft makers and artisans, a culture still thriving today. As a more recent addition the Dark Sky Planetarium, is a must for children and adults, or try the Dark Art Gin Distillery next door.
The town attracts many visitors throughout the year drawn by the many annual events and visitor attractions, including MacLellan’s Castle and the harbour.
From the town there are many walks available, from the scenic coastal paths to forest trails, with sailing, swimming, riding, fishing and golf for the more adventurous.
Nearest beach (The Doon|) is only a short drive away with ample parking and public toilet.
Further afield there are many beautiful gardens to visit, including the National Trust’s Threave Gardens and Threave Castle, Galloway Forest Park and the 7stanes Glentool and Kirroughtree Mountain Bike Trails.
