Planning your visit

Dogs are welcome but please keep them under close control, especially during the bird nesting season and in areas where livestock are grazing.

For more information about planning your visit, please see the drop-down facilities below or our frequently asked questions.

Facilities & access

The interpretation boards are easily accessible from both Rockcliffe car parks, but they’re on a steep slope at Kippford.

We have an ongoing programme of accessible content development. Detailed accessibility guides for the most visited Trust places are available on our Accessibility pages as well as links to useful resources.

We’d love you to visit the Euan’s Guide website to review the accessibility of Trust places and tell us (and others) what is good and where we need to do better.

There’s one allocated disabled parking space at Rockcliffe Beach car park.

Buggy access

Dogs are welcome but please keep them under close control, especially during the bird nesting season and in areas where livestock are grazing.

There are three holiday cottages at Rockcliffe:

Auchenvhin (sleeps 8)

Port Donnel Cottage (sleeps 5)

Saltflats Cottage (sleeps 4)

Booking a holiday with the National Trust for Scotland helps us to protect this special place, now and for the future.

The Beach car park at Rockcliffe village is short stay (20 mins) during the summer. Parking is also available at the Baron’s Craig Hotel.
