Why stay here ...
Colin and Sandra Carruthers welcome you to Landis Farm. We are a small family run caravan park for touring caravans and motor homes located on the outskirts of the beautiful village of New Abbey in South West Scotland.
We welcome visitors from all over the world and we want to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Our secluded site is located on our own farmland meaning you get peace and quiet from the moment you arrive. We're surrounded by stunning views of the country side yet are only a short drive from all major amenities.
All pitches have electric hook up and are hard standing. There is a w/c and wash hand basin with hot and cold water. We are a small, friendly site based on a working farm which has been in our family for over eighty years. We are lucky to be situated in the unspoilt countryside of Dumfries and Galloway. The quiet surroundings offer peace and tranquillity but we are ideally located for a host of activities in the region. We are dog friendly.
Around The Site
You don't need to use your car if you fancy a walk or some history or a cup of tea and a cake. 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. You are also welcome to view our collection of vintage tractors and meet some of the farm residents including goats, chickens and cattle.
Further Afield
Dumfries and Galloway is a magnet for walkers, cyclists, fishermen and golfers. The town of Dumfries is also well known for it's connection with Robert Burns and there are a number of interesting places to visit. Some local attractions we'd suggest are:
Mabie Farm Park - Only ten minutes drive from the site, is a great day out for families.
Kirkconnel Flow - This nature reserve is only 3 miles from the site.
Caerlaverock and Mersehead - Both of these areas are a must for bird watchers.
Driving along the coast road will take you to a range of secluded bays including Sandyhills, Rockcliffe and the marina village of Kipford. The town of Dalbeattie is a little further on and past there you will find the Food Town Castle Douglas and the Artist Town Kirkcudbright.

Our visit to Landis Farm Nov.2017
We arrived on the 2nd Nov.to a warm welcome from Colin albeit the entry road is a little narrow ,we have a 29ft Motor home with a tow car but it just needs a bit of careful driving ๐The CL itself is a little gem (even in November) Colin and Sandra were excellent hosts ,on leaving Sandra drove in front of us to the main road to make sure our exit was clear ๐๐The birdlife on the site is brilliant with so many different species and feeders all around to attract them in.All in all a great 5 night stay .Thank you Colin and Sandra.

A First Class Site
As many have already written this CL is a little gem tucked away in the Dumfries countryside.We booked for 2 nights as a stop-over on the way to The Rhinns of Galloway but we will be back to spend more time in this beautiful area but I suspect we will have to book well in advance as these reviews will only make this CL even more popular. The site is very peaceful but is on a working farm so don't expect silence. The access lane from the main road is narrow with many twists and turns so needs to be taken steadily. The site is excellently maintained. Dumfries & Galloway is famed for it's 'Dark Skies' and there is very little extraneous light at night so take a torch if you want to pick your way to the toilet block after dark.

Outstanding Site
What a cracking site - very well kept and we loved the farm machinery that was dotted about. Even before we arrived Sandra had kindly told us which car park to use near the Theatre Royal in Dumfries, where we were going on the Saturday night, which could accommodate the motorhome. She also recommended a local taxi firm if we decided not to drive into Dumfries. We had the pitch next to the goats and sheep, which kept us very entertained! A warm welcome on arrival from Colin, who told us the best way to get to the car park. Lots of well stocked bird feeders dotted around the site, which for nature enthusiasts like us was brilliant. The feeder across from our pitch was visited by a woodpecker. A lovely view of Sweetheart Abbey as you drive up the lonning to/from the farm and the site itself has some gorgeous views. We will definitely be back as we want to visit the New Abbey Corn Mill when the water wheel is working, but to be honest think we would just come up anyway for a nice, quiet, peaceful weekend stay at anytime.
Cracking Site!
We booked in for 3 nights intending to possibly stay for 4 but weather prevented this. Lovely picturesque site - warm welcome. The site is very well maintained and as others have said plenty to see there - including vintage tractors and goats. We found plenty of good walks and climbed up to the Waterloo Monument. Following the footpath from the village the climb up can be fairly steep and slippery in the wet as you approach the Monument. The shortest way back is the way you came, although there is a track through the forest but expect to walk about 6 miles to get back to the village. One word of caution if you return on the forest track - when you get to the T junction turn right not left as we did as after 1 1/2 miles you come to a dead end!! We will definitely return to the site and would highly recommend.
