Description
Ardlui sits in a stunning peaceful location within the sought after village of Rockcliffe, with sea views to the front and countryside to the rear. Rockcliffe is a popular holiday and summer destination, with a variety of quaint waterfront properties, many of which are the original Victorian villas built to enjoy the benefits of the mild climate and sea swimming. Today, Rockcliffe beach is still popular with swimmers and holiday makers alike. Much of the land surrounding the village is in the care of The National Trust for Scotland and is very picturesque. Mote of Mark is the site of a 5th & 6th century fort, and there are stunning views from the top. There are walks from Rockcliffe along the coastal path to Sandyhills, as well as a woodland walk over to the neighbouring village of Kippford.
Shops, schools, and services are available in Dalbeattie and Castle Douglas, with a broader range available in Dumfries, the regional capital some 20 miles east. A small shop is situated in nearby Colvend, along with a highly rated primary school, and there are two pubs in Kippford, where there is also a yacht club and moorings.
There are mainline train stations in Dumfries and Lockerbie, with access to the motorway network at Moffat (M74), Lockerbie (M74) and Gretna (M6). Glasgow and Edinburgh airports are both around 2 hours’ drive away.
