Sandyhills to Rockcliffe coastal path

This has been described as one of the finest coastal paths in Britain – with stunning views across the Solway Firth to Cumbria and the Isle of Man – as well as along the Galloway coast and inland.

The path follows close to the clifftop but at Portling take the road inland for a short distance. There are many interesting features on or close to the path itself.

If walking from Sandyhills, look out for the Needle’s Eye below you and at low tide (be sure to check tide times) you can follow the shore at the foot of the cliffs as far as Portling instead of the upper route – however it can be muddy and wet underfoot.

The “Elbe” monument is about half way between Sandyhills and Rockcliffe, just below the path. A plaque tells the story of this tragic shipwreck.

Castle Point was once the spot of an ancient fort. The path continues down to the shore, passing “Nelson’s Grave” (not the Nelson you’re thinking of) and along to Rockcliffe. As an alternative in the event of exceptionally high tides, you can use the Barcloy road to connect with the public road to Rockcliffe.

Kippford & Rockcliffe from Coastal Kippford Walks from Coastal Kippford commence at the very highest point in the park• The Doon Hill Walk. Entirely within the Park’s

private and naturally regenerating woodland.• Mark Hill Woodlands. On land owned by Forest

Enterprise where our very rough paths adjoin a lovely circular walk.

• The Coastal & ‘Jubilee’ footpaths. Two direct routes between the attractive villages of Rockcliffe, with its lovely beach – and Kippford. You can access either path from the Park, and on through Mark Hill woodlands. Along these paths you can divert to the ‘Muckle’ and the Mote of Mark for marvellous views of Rough Firth, Solway Firth and the Lake District Hills. Cyclists are not encouraged to use these footpaths.

Rough Island is closed to the public during the spring nesting season, otherwise offers a lovely walk via a low tide causeway. Check tide times carefully before departure. Access is at low tide only. Give yourself ample time to cross the causeway, explore the island and return to Rockcliffe before the tide comes back in. Dalbeattie Forest

Access to the forest is 450 yards from the Park’s entrance on the right at Barnbarroch. The lane takes you to the forest gate where the path forks. The forest extends to Dalbeattie Town Wood at its northern end where there are several trails waymarked with colour coded posts, cycle tracks, trekking paths, a loch and disused quarries.

If you are travelling south to the Colvend Coast, leave the forest at one of the tracks which exit at either Colvend, Newbarns or Fairgirth Farm. This latter access point crosses two fields and several gates, as well as a small caravan site and farmyard. Please be courteous to local landowners and farm staff.

Try to avoid walking or cycling along the A710, as there are several ‘blind’ corners and traffic moves at great speed.
