Walking Festival

WalkFest - the Newton Stewart Walking Festival - is now firmly established as the biggest walking festival in the South of Scotland. Galloway is a wonderful location for walking and whether you enjoy the challenge of our true hill walking experiences or our lower level themed routes, there is sure to be something for everyone.

Fishing

We own almost three miles of very productive fishing on the River Bladnoch. It has a variety of different types of fishing habitat and offers excellent fly and spinning water along its length. As the river is a spate river, it fishes best after a good fall of rain. The Bladnoch holds both game and coarse fish species.
