Kippford -Rockcliffe-Sandyhills a coastal walk in Dumfries & Galloway

This was a very scenic walk along the coastal path and cliffs with beautiful views of the river Ure ,Solway firth, and nearby islands. We made our way down to Kippford to the start of the walk heading through the village and and onwards to Rough island viewpoint then it was on our way to Rockcliffe we met Jim of Jim's coastal path walk around the UK a fellow CZcamsr who interviewed us about our walk then it was on our way again on the coastal path over the cliffs to Sandyhill's the cliff scenery was quite dramatic and the sea views where stunning as we wound our way up over and around the cliffs followed by a short tarmac section into Sandyhill's the end of our walk.
Distance walked was approx 8 miles.

What pretty little villages and bluebells. I never knew about the islands in the Solway Firth. Stunning views from the coastal path. You're having great weather Bill. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks lorna was a super day for our walk, we had intended to visit Rough island on the day as there is a causeway across to it at low tide but didn't realise till we got there that it was closed due to ground-nesting birds breeding. Hestan island is a likely candidate for our next visit.👍🏴

Had many great holidays in Kippford with our Labrador, sadly we lost her at the beginning of this month. Did this coastal walk, Carlingwalk Loch, Threave Castle and Gardens, Dalbeattie Forest to Colvend, Kirkcudbright River Don walk, many times. Felt like we were doing it again watching this, great video.
