Crabbing on the pontoon just a stone’s throw from the house is a fantastic activity for all, particularly popular for younger visitors. Craigieknowes Golf Course (a family fun 9 hole par 3 course) is on the outskirts of the village. Mountain bike routes are laid out in the Forestry Commission woodlands at Dalbeattie and also in the Galloway Forest Park forming the 7Stanes Mountain Bike Routes and for general touring, the local roads are easy to access and allow the coast to be explored at more leisurely pace.
