🌿 Things to Do in Monreith
1. Monreith Bay / Beach
The beach is long and sandy, especially good at low tide.
There are rock pools and caves to explore, including a cave known locally as “Butcher’s Cave.”
Swimming is possible (in summer), and fishing is also popular.
To reach Monreith Bay, there’s a car park by the road and then a fairly long staircase (152 steps) down to the beach.
2. Maxwell’s Otter Memorial
There’s a bronze otter statue near Monreith, dedicated to Gavin Maxwell, the naturalist and author of Ring of Bright Water.
You can do a walking route called “Maxwell’s Otter and Monreith Beach Walk” — around 6 miles (9.8 km), takes about 3 h20.
On that walk, you’ll also pass the ruins of Kirkmaiden Church, which has a scenic graveyard overlooking the bay.
3. Monreith Estate / Woodland Walks
The Monreith Estate, managed in part by the Woodland Trust, has walking paths around the White Loch of Myrton.
From those paths, you can enjoy views of the loch, wildlife, and Monreith House.
4. White Loch of Myrton
This is a peaceful spot on the estate.
The loch has links to Iron Age history, including a crannog (ancient lake dwelling) in its waters.
The woodland and loch are especially pretty in spring, when bluebells bloom.
5. Old Place of Monreith
This is a historic tower house / old manor (also called Dowies House) near Port William.
It’s part of the Landmark Trust, so you might even stay there (or just explore the area).
From there, you can do mountain biking, walking, or drive to nearby attractions like Galloway Forest and Castle Kennedy Gardens.
6. Historic & Archaeological Sites
Barsalloch Fort: A hillfort or enclosure from the Iron Age, located on a cliff near Monreith.
Kirkmaiden Church ruins: As mentioned, good for a walk and to soak in history
