# Garlieston Beach and Wigtown Bay

> Spring garden, arboretum and holiday accomodation south west Scotland Galloway House Gardens, formerly part of Galloway House Estate but now managed by an independent charitable trust, are historic seaside gardens dating back to 1740 set in over fifty acres of designed parkland on the shores of Wigtown Bay near Garlieston.

Garlieston Beach and Wigtown Bay plus Rigg Bay also known as Cruggleton Bay are all set in the vast grounds of Galloway home and Gardens. The buildings are not ready to accept people but make an backdrop that is impressive gardens and woodlands lead straight on the seashore where you could enjoy the big sandy beach at your leisure; beyond you are able to continue steadily to stick to the seaside path to view the dazzling levels of Cruggleton Cliffs and also the spoil of Cruggleton Castle.There is no lifeguard address and care should be taken if paddling at low tide as wreckage from the WW2 Mulberry Harbour activities sometimes become partially exposed in the sands. It obviously draws the children' attention it is sharp and rusty also to be prevented!
