rhins of Galloway riding

[jawaka]

We've booked up a treat at the Corsewall lighthouse hotel on the peninsula west of Stranraer. Love the idea of somewhere so remote.

Looking on Street view they look marvellous roads for riding: flattish terrain, empty roads, beautiful scenery. Anyone got any recommendations? Guess it might be rather windy though.

A perfect ride is across in the Machars Port William, Monreith, Isle of Whithorn, Garlieston, Wigtown. I was there in July and had perfect weather.
Whilst you probably will also go down to Drummore, Port Patrick is a must, while you’re there I never find that peninsula as appealing as the Machars.

Visit At Ninian's Cave where the end scenes of the original Wicker Man were filmed.

Cycling is delightful in that area with relatively little motor traffic. Whilst the hills aren't huge, it's pretty up and down; you will get good exercise.

Nearby Stranraer is a rather depressed town but worth a visit. Make sure that you get down to the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse.
