We don’t recommend waiting to go to Dumfries and Galloway until you’re on the run from the fuzz and a ruthless foreign spy ring, like the hero Hannay in John Buchan’s classic novel The Thirty-Nine Steps (we also don’t recommend ‘hiding’ from said spy ring on moors while they’re hunting their quarry down from a plane, but we digress).
As well as countless places to hide (not the moors, remember), Galloway has championship golf courses, lush local produce, dark sky stargazing and award-winning gardens; it’s known as a wildlife haven too, with rare beasties like the natterjack toad, red squirrel sanctuaries and a red kite trail, and thousands of chattering seabirds at the Mull of Galloway.
And it’s where The Wicker Man was filmed (shudder), although we’re sure it’s safe these days to totter along to the Wickerman Festival or do the Wicker Man trail from Kirkcudbright.
Dumfries and Galloway holiday parks and campsites suit all tastes from family-friendly holiday villages to peaceful walkers’ paradise parks: search by theme using the Pitchup.com filters to find the type of park you want, or browse our Dumfries and Galloway parks by location, available dates, user reviews and more.
