GATEHOUSE OF FLEET

Kirkcudbright 8 miles; Newton Stewart 15 miles.

Peaceful in its pastel colours, the small country town of Gatehouse of Fleet lies on the Solway Firth, in the midst of Dumfries & Galloway countryside. Good sandy beaches are a five minute drive away, as are a loch and river fishing. The town was founded in the 1760s as a mill community and today the nearby Mill on the Fleet - a visitor centre in a former bobbin mill - tells the tale of Gatehouse's cotton spinning days. Today there are several shops in the town including a baker, butcher, grocer as well as a bank and post office and many of the pubs have restaurant facilities and welcome children.
