Walks
A walk around the park beside Carlingwark Loch can be continued along Lover's Walk, which goes out along the south shore of the loch to an area of marsh and a bird hide, from where further trails lead back to the town or on to Kelton Hill and Threave Gardens. There is a walk leading from the town to Threave Castle, and there is a network of trails around the National Trust for Scotland property at Threave Gardens. Threave Castle and Threave Gardens are both to the west of the town and about 2 km apart.

Famous quotes containing the word walks:
“But who walks with Him? dares to take His arm,
To slap Him on the shoulder, tweak His ear,
Buy Him a Coca-Cola or a beer,
Pooh-pooh His politics, call Him a fool?”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts
Benighted walks under the mid-day sun;
Himself is his own dungeon.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“He walks in his sleep into your life.
He is worth knowing only for the children
He has reared as savages in Utah.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
