Whithorn is steeped in history, being one of Scotland's oldest settlements and an Outstanding Conservation Area. The nearby Whithorn Priory, which once housed the relics of St Ninian, invites visitors to explore its rich heritage, including the shrine of St Ninian, carved stone displays, and the Whithorn Story Visitor Centre. The area is also home to St Ninian's Cave, believed to be a sanctuary for the saint, and offers a glimpse into the spiritual journey of medieval pilgrims.
Beyond the immediate surroundings, guests can explore the picturesque Machars peninsula, known for its quaint villages, stunning coastal walks, and sandy beaches. The nearby town of Wigtown, renowned as Scotland's national book town, is filled with charming architecture, unique shops, and tearooms, hosting various festivals throughout the year. For nature enthusiasts, the Galloway Forest Park offers breathtaking walking and cycling trails, making it a prime location for stargazing in one of the UK’s Dark Sky Parks.
