New Galloway tourist information
New Galloway is a pretty village of stone and white-painted cottages set amid beautiful countryside.
A picturesque and friendly place, New Galloway has local shops and amenities, and a charming small town hall with an unusual tower. It is a perfect base for tourists to explore the surrounding countryside, particularly the Galloway Forest Park, with its beautiful woodland, hills and high peaks. The stunning Loch Trool in the heart of the park should not be missed.
Between New Galloway and Castle Douglas lies the lovely freshwater lake of Loch Ken. Perfect for walking and relaxing, it is also home to a large watersports centre for those visitors who fancy something a bit more challenging.
The Southern Upland Way passes close to the village. This long-distance footpath is the longest in Scotland at 212 miles, and winds its way through beautiful scenery on its way coast to coast.
