This trail takes you from the aviation museum at Dumfries with its Battle of Britain Spitfire, along the scenic Solway coast road past the birthplace of the founder of the United States Navy to the pretty artists town of Kirkcudbright. It is a trail with lots of history, but also stunning scenery and is full of towns, villages and beaches which beg to be explored on foot.
Our first trail starts at the wide open expanses of the Solway coast at Silloth, and takes you through north Cumbria and the many airfields surrounding the city of Carlisle.
Our shortest trail, but through some of our most scenic countryside. Start the day with a visit to The Devil’s Porridge Museum to learn about the huge munitions factories here, then pass the former RAF Annan on the way to Moffat.
This trail takes you on a journey through ‘Bonnie Galloway’, and includes Top Secret D-Day preparations and the place where a fleet of German U-boats tied up in a military harbour!
