Kirkcudbright is one of Scotland's most vibrant small towns and right in the heart of great cycling country. We are not the first, many before have also called it home; from Celtic tribes to the Roman General Agricola, the Galloway Picts, St. Cuthbert and more recently a flourishing colony of artists and crafts people.
We love its pastel coloured houses, the castle and the fact that it still has real family shops and a working harbour. We partner with the best of hotels, B&Bs.
You can ride out along the coast, into the hills or a bit of both. Every day you get to pick from a range of 10, 20, 30, 40 mile or further rides. If you don't want to ride then we have walking tours, cook school, studio visits we can organise or enjoy the shops, galleries and cafes.

Back to Kirkcudbright along the magical coast.
There are so many tracks that go down to some remote bay. We will explore a few of them. Have a break at the wonderful community cafe at Auchencairn to take the track over the hill to Netherlinkin that links up with the road back to Kirkcudbright.
