A small, hillside park above the Urr estuary, and the kind of place people have been coming back to for forty years.
Kippford View has a longer story than most parks of its size. It joined the Gillespie Leisure Group in 1982, back when it was still called Barlochan, and has been quietly improving on the same hillside above the Urr estuary ever since. The park stays deliberately small, the regulars outnumber the first-timers most weekends, and the pace is slower than you’d find on the bigger coastal sites. Here are five reasons owners most often mention when we ask them why they picked us.
Kippford View earns its name, a gently sloping site with outlooks across the estuary to Rough Island and the Solway coast beyond.
Kippford is a short walk away. The harbour-side pub is the kind of place holidays get planned around.
