Pup Obi Travels

Our last day in Dumfries and Galloway turned rather miserable with drizzly rain and low cloud. We left early

We followed the A712 which will take us past Clatteringshaw Loch. Despite the mist and rain, we ventured into the Galloway wilds, forests of coniferous trees and moorland. It maybe have been miserable weather, but it was beautiful all the same. No where in Greater Manchester will you ever find places like this. The rolling lands are covered in coniferous trees and hardly a sole around. Peace and quiet for miles around.

We found an observation point which stood out along a valley floor, giving the views an vantage point to view the forest around.

Trees upon trees everywhere you look., streams and waterfalls, moorland an nature surrounds you. the odd car passed us by, but the journey leaving Dumfries was just as impressive as the few days we have spent in the beautiful part of Scotland. So much to see and do, landscapes to explore. We have only scratched the surface of this place.

The dam was the last thing we visited before we followed the road which eventually took us back to the A75 the main road across Dumfries and Galloway. The dam is an impressive feet of engineering, like all dams, but the few we have dotted around the West Pennine Moors are simple dams to hold back water. Here they made a feature of the dam. Apologise but the weather was bad, hence the fuzzy damp image.

As we draw our holiday to a close in Dumfries and Galloway, I will hold fond memories of my visit to this place. Our first holiday away together. exploring places never visited before, fascinating history and features. Certainly we will have to come back.
