New England Bay

Numerous quiet lanes lead to National Cycle Route 73. This route is split into two halves; north and south, with the north section being slightly easier. Head further out to Galloway Forest Park for the 7stanes mountain bike trails, where there are a wide range of routes to suit cyclists of all levels.

There are plenty of adventurous walks in the local area. Try the Mull of Galloway Trail from Mull to Stranraer, and continue north on the Loch Ryan Coastal Path. A little further afield is Galloway Forest Park, which offers plenty to explore from mountain hikes to woodland walks. For something a little more local, try a circular walk to Port Logan and back direct from site.

There are a variety things to do in the area, from watersports to sea angling. Head to the Mull of Galloway, Scotland’s most southerly point, or Castle Kennedy where you can explore the walled gardens surrounding the castle.

New England Bay offers a remote escape, and as such there aren't many places to eat near to site. We recommend bringing your own food for a barbecue, or if you're up for venturing a little further afield, head north to Portpatrick, about 30 minutes away from the campsite and try the Galloway Bar and Restaurant or Campbells.

Nature lovers should head to the nearby Mull of Galloway Nature Reserve. Managed by the RSPB, there's plenty to see on the reserve including birds like guillemots and puffins. In the summer, eagle-eyed visitors might be able to see harbour porpoises, dolphins and Atlantic grey seals offshore.

If gardens are more your thing, there are a number of local gardens to visit including the Logan Botanic Gardens. Known as the country's most exotic garden, here you'll discover a range of plants from places like Australia and Southern Africa.
