Walking & Cycling in Scotland
 Blair
Farm is a popular overnight accommodation stop-over for those enjoying
a Walking or Cycling Holiday in Scotland. Nearby Glentrool, a favourite
with our guests, is situated only a 10 minute drive away in the
Galloway Forest Park, to the South East of Barrhill. This beautiful
spot is popular for all types of outdoor activities including cycle
routes, picnic areas, walking and hiking.
The Merrick (2764 ft) is the highest summit in the Southern Uplands.
On a clear day the fantastic views of the surrounding hills and
countryside of Ayrshire and Galloway  -
extending to Ailsa Craig, Isle of Arran, Northern Ireland and Northern
England are well worth the climb.
The Southern
Upland Way (click for link) is a 212 mile walk from Portpatrick
on the West Coast to Cockburnspath on the East Coast and passes
through Glentrool. We are more than happy to collect walkers and
return them the following morning to continue on their walk.
 We
also have secure storage for bicycles so you can enjoy your overnight
accommodation safe in the knowledge that your bike and equipment
will be as you left them.
For Birdwatching, the RSPB Reserve - The Wood of Cree - is just
3 miles north of Newton Stewart on the East Bank of the River Cree.
This is a peaceful spot with a pleasant woodland walk.
The most southerly point in Scotland is the Mull of Galloway, another
RSPB Reserve. The cliffs are home to thousands of breeding seabirds,
a must for the Bird Watching Enthusiast.
