Further down the coast the Machar’s Peninsula has stunning coastal walks, harbours and sandy beaches. The area is steeped in history and the landscape is a haven for birdwatchers. Just past the market town of Newton Stewart is the Galloway Forest Park, one of the most attractive and peaceful areas of South West Scotland with its rugged and beautiful scenery and quiet roads. The forest park is an ideal centre for a range of outdoor activities including walking, mountain biking, world famous 7 stanes cycling routes, fishing and just enjoying the countryside in general.
