Low Kirkbride is conveniently situated in the heart of Nithsdale, ideal for exploring Dumfries & Galloway. For a pleasant day out there are many scenic drives north, south, east and west.
Round the Solway Coast is always beautiful, passing through New Abbey, where we find Sweetheart Abbey. Abbey Cottage is a delightful place to stop for a cup or a bite to eat. On south from New Abbey is Kirkbean and John Paul Jones Cottage; where the founder of the American Navy was born. You can catch a fish at the Kirkhouse Fishery in Kirkbean itself.
Historic Drumlanrig Castle, home of the Duke of Buccleuch, has forest trails, scenic gardens and an adventure playground for children.
We are ten miles from Dumfries, famous for Robert Burns, and the Globe Inn is well worth visiting. In Dumfries and the surrounding area there are many Museums
Another lovely drive is to Castle Douglas and Gatehouse of Fleet, where we find Cream O' Galloway famous for ice cream and nature trails.
North from Low Kirkbride is Scotland's highest village at Wanlockhead, with its world-famous Lead Mining Museum.
