A grand day out in D&G
There’s much to explore in this spectacular landscape
Make for the Multiverse
Wander through the Crawick Multiverse, a former coal mine now an astonishing and enlightening work of land art. Themes of space, cosmology and astronomy are explored using stone sculptures, winding paths and lookout points. A truly special place designed by landscape architect Charles Jencks, who also created the Garden for Cosmic Speculation. Go for the solstice festival. DG4 6ET

Where to go, what to see…
1 The Devil’s Beef Tub
This dramatic landmark owes its name to the practice of hiding cattle plundered during cross-border raids. Walter Scott wrote: ‘It looks as if four hills were laying their heads together, to shut out daylight from the dark hollow space between them. A damned deep, black, blackguard-looking abyss of a hole it is.’ But don’t let that put you off!
Motorcycling in Moffat
Motorcyclists in the know come from all over the world to this hidden gem
Some of the best motorcycling routes are right here in Dumfries and Galloway – and Moffat sits amongst it all. Not a lot of people know this but… there are hundreds of miles of quiet, open roads often with good line of sight, jaw-dropping dramatic scenery and plenty of pit stops.
