Newton Stewart to Wigtown

Cycling

The cycle path 73 in Newton Stewart starts by the River Cree, goes under the A75 and continues mostly as a separate cycle path along the Cree estuary all the way to Wigtown.

Just before you reach Wigtown, take a detour to the Martyr's Stake, a chilling reminder of the Killing Times in Dumfries & Galloway. Wigtown has several cafes, restaurants and some of Scotland’s best book shops. If you have time Bladnoch Distillery is just 1 miles down the road, or ride to the Standing Stones of Torhouse on the B733 (a quiet road!) just 3 miles from Wigtown.
