Galloway Cycling Holidays

Esther & Warren have done fast sportives, long- distance endurances races and then cycled around the world for 4 years. When we returned we settled in one of the best places in Scotland (possibly the UK) to ride a bike - Galloway. We bought the company in 2017 and want to share the joy of cycling, the beauty of the Southwest Scotland, its ancient history and contemporary culture.

Anwoth Old Kirk

Originally travelled to here because of the schoolhouse and old kirk being in The Wicker Man film but it is so much more special than that. Very atmospheric and peaceful in a beautiful setting

Threave Castle

This site is closed for now. We’re working hard to gradually reopen the places you love while making sure the experience is safe for everyone. Cross the River Dee by boat to visit this enchanting castle on its own island. Once the bustling base of its creator, Archibald the Grim, it is now an ideal spot for exploring, picnicking and perhaps, painting. The island is rich with wildflowers in summer; you might also see ospreys and otters hunting in the river. The castle was besieged by King James II for two months in 1455, and fell after the king bribed the garrison to surrender.

The Stewartry Museum

The Stewartry Museum was founded in 1879, and first occupied part of the Kirkcudbright Town Hall. As the collection grew, the present purpose-built museum was planned and opened in 1893. The Museum has an old-world charm and exhibits a wealth of objects relating to the area known as The Stewartry of Kirkcudbrightshire.

Reviewed By DerekP169 - Great Malvern, United Kingdom

It is a little gem of a museum with a large array of exhibits including items such as communion tokens which we had never seen or heard of before. Also, we found out what the Stewartry is and the cup and ring carvings – bronze age rock art. There are some of these outside the museum.
