Situated on a quiet, single-track road leading into mixed woodland this little Victorian cottage, made of local Dalbeattie granite, nestles next to the owner’s home, and neighbours a wide expanse of National Trust meadow leading down to the sea.
There are numerous varied walks from the door. Turn right through the cottage’s small wrought iron gate and within two minutes you are on Rockcliffe’s beach, a mixture of sand, shells and rock pools with safe bathing and boat ramp. From here you can walk along the breathtaking cliff path admiring the rugged coastline and wildlife and observing the nesting cormorants, razorbills and guillemots on the cliffs and rocky stacks. Beautiful sandy beaches, distant views of the Lake District mountains and interesting smugglers coves make this a fantastic walk to Sandyhills, from where you can get the local bus back to the village or wander back through Dalbeattie forest.
Turning left from Craigrannoch Cottage, the acclaimed Jubilee path leads you through deciduous woodland to the village of Kippford with its little marina. After coffee and cake in the café with lovely views over the water or a meal and pint in one of the two village pubs, you can stroll back to Rockcliffe along on the lower coastal path detouring, if desired, to the top of the Mote of Mark for far-reaching views of the bays and headlands (and magnificent sunsets!).
When the tide is out walks open up in Rockcliffe bay itself and you can stroll along the natural causeway to explore Rough Island (out of nesting season), a National Trust bird sanctuary, and admire Rockcliffe from the sea. Rockcliffe is designated as a National Scenic Area in Scotland (NSA) and is also situated in the Dark Sky park so you can experience the amazing starlit nights when it is clear. The famous Seven Stanes mountain bike trails can be reached easily by forest tracks from the door of the cottage.
