Surroundings Palmallet Cottage is surrounded by some of Scotland's most beautiful countryside and farmland. Palmallet Pedigree Aberdeen Angus cattle graze in the fields nearby. The cottage enjoys views across Palmallet Loch which is a habitat to lots of wildlife. Throughout the spring and summer you can watch swans nesting and cygnets learning to swim, and feed. There are hundreds of species of ducks and birds which visit and live around the loch at different times of the year. If you are lucky you may also catch a glimpse of a heron or one of the many birds of prey in the local area. At dusk a family of deer often stroll across the fields and you may also see badgers or foxes out hunting. Across from the cottage is Cruggleton Church where you can explore the grounds within the walled enclosure and if you are lucky you may be able to attend the ecumenical service held in the summer. This picturesque area is perfect for photographers and artists. Walking There is a coastal walk which you can join by walking through Palmallet Farm steading. From here you can either head North towards Garlieston or South towards Isle of Whithorn keeping to the coast or returning via the road from both villages. The walk is fully accessible along the way. This is a popular walk and many people come to enjoy the views from Cruggleton Castle which is only a short distance from the cottage. You will also find plenty of shorter circular walks in the surrounding area through forests and along beaches at Galloway House Estate. Eating out There are several pubs and restaurants nearby serving locally sourced food just a short drive from the cottage. The very popular Steam Packet Inn in the picturesque harbour village of Isle of Whithorn is only a five minute drive away, or for a slightly longer drive you could try the Clansman restaurant in Port William or the Bladnoch Inn not far from Wigtown. Fishing Some of the best fishing rocks in Britain are located off Palmallet Farm, around a 15 minute stroll from the cottage. People visit from near and far to spend a day fishing here. | |||||||||||||||||
