Simple pleasures, easily found in Dumfries

We've produced a new colourful leaflet to encourage local people to get outdoors more often and enjoy nature close to home. Simple pleasures, easily found in Dumfries recommends four easy-to-follow routes - Heathhall Forest, Whitesands to Nithside, Whitesands to Kingholm Quay and Lincluden Abbey Field. It's a great way to explore some of the best places for nature in Dumfries and there are lots of ideas for simple, free activities to enjoy along the way. You can get a free copy from SNH publications  on 01738 458530 or by emailing pubs@snh.gov.uk.
