Get away from it all in Galloway, Countess suggests

Category: UK Travel Insurance News
There are plenty of walks to enjoy in Galloway

Galloway has some stunning scenery to offer visitors.

Individuals looking to escape to a rural retreat might consider a trip to Galloway.

Emily, Countess of Stair, or Castle Kennedy Gardens, explains there are both beaches and mountains in this interesting part of Scotland, with plenty of routes for walkers to explore.

Those who would rather spend their break nibbling on fine fare should find ample amounts of local produce to sample.

Farmers markers are abundant in the region and plenty of organic meat and vegetables can be purchased.

Pubs and restaurants also offer delicious meals for individuals who would rather not cook for themselves and the representative suggests heading for a pub lunch then enjoying a walk on the surrounding beaches.

"If you want to ... get away from the world and discover somewhere completely different, Galloway is definitely the place," Emily, Countess of Stair, notes.

Thanks to the climate in this part of Scotland, visitors can also expect to see "unique" gardens filled with plants that might not be found in other regions of the UK.

The representative calls the south-west tip of Scotland a "secret paradise", as many people are unaware of the hidden gems that can be found.

Long sandy beaches are also known to draw travel insurance policyholders and others to the region, which is why the countess wants to spread the word about the beautiful sites on offer.

Plenty of events are planned for the coming months, with Easter egg hunts, plant fairs and open-air theatre among the key attractions for spring and summer.
