General
- Friendly family country park on a terraced hillside with estuary views
- Coarse fishing loch and woodland and coastal walks nearby
- Heated outdoor pool, playground and games and TV room
On your bike for some splendid Scottish mountain biking – and coarse fishing, forest strolls and spectacular scenery, all close to the coast in Dumfries and Galloway.
A short and scenic amble from the old fishing village of Palnackie is Barlochan Holiday Park, overlooking the tidal estuary of the Urr Water to Kippford and the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The stunning scenery of Rockcliffe Bay is a few miles along the coast.
Palnackie is the starting point for the circular peninsula walk following the Urr and Heston estuaries for excellent island views, a hidden beach and the historic Orchardton Tower. A stay at Barlochan will also have you within four miles of the famed 7stanes mountain bike route at Dalbeattie (and 17 miles from Mabie's), and right next to a Sustrans cycle route passing the park entrance. The hugely scenic Screel Hill Walk and coarse fishing at Barwhanny Loch are close by too.
Barlochan is a family-friendly site on a terraced hillside among green and serene surroundings. It has a seasonal heated outdoor pool, a TV and games room, a small shop and a play park, alongside amenities of toilets and hot showers, and a launderette with washing machines and tumble dryers. Chemical disposal and gas cylinders are both available.

Local attractions
From coastal walks to castles, museums to monasteries to mountain biking, there's stacks to do around here whatever floats your Scottish holiday boat.
As well as the circular walk from Palnackie around the Urr and Heston estuaries, you could also trek the trails in Doach Wood three miles away and Mabie Forest 13 miles away, or take the Almorness Point Walk, reachable in seven miles. Wanders of a different nature can be had around Sulwath Brewers, eight miles away at Castle Douglas.
If you're hankering after ornithology days, the reserve at RSPB Mersehead is the place to spy snipe, lapwings, curlews and redshanks around its Wetland Trail (and huge flocks of barnacle and pink-footed geese getting ready here for their long journey north). There's also the Red Kite Feeding Station at Gigrin Farm in Rhayader, where the kites swoop down to be fed each day.
The 16th-century tower house of Drumcoltran Tower is nine miles away near Kirkgunzeon; also take a trip to the 14th-century island fortress of Threave Castle 10 miles away; the one-acre walled garden and rose areas of Threave Gardens, and the 13th-century Cistercian monastery of Sweetheart Abbey, 15 miles away at New Abbey.
