Kirkpatrick C2C – Portpatrick Spur

Cycling

This 7.5-mile spur allows you to extend the Kirkpatrick C2C, starting from the pretty seaside town of Portpatrick just west of Stranraer.

Add an extra half day to your trip to see the pastel-coloured houses, set around a small bay. Explore the coastline of the Rhins of Galloway and take a walk to nearby Dunskey Castle, perched on a rocky outcrop.
