St Mary's Isle Walk

About St Mary's Isle Walk

A 4.5 mile gentle circular walk that takes you out of the bustling town of Kirkcudbright to a tranquil woodland route along the banks of Kirkcudbright Bay. Known as the Sailor’s Walk, follow signs for St Mary’s Isle core path number 151 and follow the shoreline where the River Dee meets the sea. There are views across the river from the boathouse slipway and at the Point of the Isle the bay is frames by wooded shores with Little Ross island and lighthouse guarding the mouth of the estuary. On the way back visit Kirkcudbright Art Gallery (where there are many fine paintings of the bay) and treat yourself at the café.
