Colin and Sandra are proud to welcome you to their award winning CL at Landis Farm. The site is located just outside the pretty village of New Abbey and only seven miles from Dumfries with all its large town amenities. New Abbey is famous for the ruins of sweetheart Abbey which is in the centre of the village and part of the SW300 route making the site a perfect stop off.
About The Site:
All pitches are generous, level and hard standing with 16amp electric hook up. Our modern facilities offer wheelchair and disabled access with a wet room facility and the other side of the block has a shower, hand basin and w/c. There is free wi-fi available on site. Recently added, our dishwashing station and drying area is ideal for guests to wash dishes and hang up wet clothing.
Our site is based on a farm which has been in the family for over 100 years and we strive to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We are situated in the unspoilt countryside and rolling hills of Dumfries and Galloway.
We also have a 'mini museum' available for guests to browse our collection of vintage tractors and farm implements. Tours available on request to learn more about this display.
We have a fabulous range of bird species on our site with feeders placed near to all pitches allowing you to enjoy viewing them from your caravan.
Fully enclosed path and exercise area for visitors and dog walkers to enjoy sitting on a bench and enjoying the peace and quiet of the countryside from our viewpoint.
On and From The Site:
There are lots of lovely walks from the site. Footpaths from the farm will take you to the Nith estuary, Waterloo Monument and Criffel hill. We are only a ten minute walk from the beautiful village of New Abbey featuring the historic Sweetheart Abbey and a Cornmill which is open to the public. There is a small shop, village pub and award winning tea room and gift shop in the village.
Further Afield:
Dumfries and Galloway is a fantastic area for outdoor activities. We are ideally situated for the 7 Stanes mountain bike trails, golf courses, hill walking and miles of footpaths and beaches.
Gardeners and historians will love Threave Castle & Gardens at Castle Douglas and Drumlanrig Castle at Thornhill. Caerlaverock castle is also unique and worth a visit. The nature reserves of Kirkconnel Flow, Mersehead and Caerlaverock are nearby - perfect for birdwatchers.
The town of Dumfries is also well known for its connection with Robert Burns and there are a number of interesting places to visit.
Driving along the coast road will take you to a range of secluded bays including Sandyhills, Rockcliffe and the marina village of Kippford. The Granite Town of Dalbeattie is a little further on and past there you will find the Food Town Castle Douglas, the Book Town Wigtown and the Artist Town Kirkcudbright.
