Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then to the Portpatrick Hotel, Portpatrick for four nights.

Excursion starting with a visit to Stranraer. Once a busy ferry port, enjoy a stroll along the waterfront where on a clear day you'll enjoy spectacular views of Ailsa Craig and the Isle of Arran. The town centre is dominated by the castle of St John, with many pavement cafés lining the streets.

We continue to Castle Kennedy Gardens which flank the shattered, ivy-clad remains of a medieval fortress, and are world-famous for their spectacular collection of rhododendrons and magnolias.
