Recreation at Mark Hill
Mark Hill wood sits above Kippford Bay and can be explored using a waymarked walk. The walk starts with an easy stroll using the forest roads, before leading into the trees along a footpath which opens out on top of Mark Hill. Take in the views across the bay and out to the hills beyond before descending onto the National Trust for Scotland’s Jubilee Path, which returns to Rockcliffe.
How to get there:
Mark Hill is part of Forests of the Solway Coast. Rockcliffe, Kippford, and Dalbeattie are the nearest towns or villages.
Follow the A710 from Dalbeattie or New Abbey to Rockcliffe. Park in the village and follow the track past the Baron's Craig Hotel up to the forest and the start of the walk. The nearest train station is in Dumfries.
