Today we continue further west along the southern Galloway coast before turning north. Another sunny day according to the forecast so we are up relatively early. A last check of the Hymer and we say goodbye to Castle Douglas and turn onto the A75.
Within half an hour we turn again for the village of Gatehouse of the Fleet, they have some interesting names for places in the UK. The village stands on a hill overlooking fleet bay. We donโt know the history of it all but it does sound formidable. From here itโs only a short drive to Cardoness Castle.
So we say goodbye to Cardoness and continue west on the A75. As we approach Stranraer an hour or so later we see the sign for Castle Kennedy Gardens and turn in to have a wander.
We wander back to the Hymer and drive the last couple of miles into Stranraer for a very late lunch.
