Accompanied by flaura and fauna experts from Solway Firth Partnership, this clifftop walk starts at Cairngarroch and on route to Portpatrick passes promontory forts and the ruins of Dunskey Castle. This a walk that links the past to the present.
Cliffs are some of the wildest places in Scotland and are notable for their diverse range of wild plants that are tough enough to defy the stormy seas. For example, slow growing ancient junipers cling to the cliff faces creating patches of woodland only 30 cms high.
Note that most of the route will be on narrow cliff-side paths, uneven terrain and flights of stairs, care must be taken.
