On a dry day…
Enjoy a walk all the way around Castle Loch taking in the varying views, birds and wildlife and the ruins of Lochmaben Castle.
It is now possible to walk a full loop of the loch (approx. 3 miles) following the opening of the Leader/Trust funded path and footbridge along the eastern side of the loch.
View the wood carvings along the Castle Loch Sculpure Trail running through the woods down the western side of the loch and on to the castle. Look out for a heron, dragonfly, vendace fish and Robert the Bruce.
Why not link your walk into the Town Trail? Taking time to stop off for a bite to eat in one of the cafes or pubs.
Bring along a picnic or buy some sandwiches from the bakery in Lochmaben and have your lunch at one of the woodland benches while soaking up the sounds of nature.
Leaflets also available from Lochmaben Post Office and library.
