Drummore to Mull of Galloway Coastal Walk
The Mull of Galloway is Scotland’s most southerly point — a dramatic headland where the Irish Sea meets the North Channel, and home to a working lighthouse and RSPB seabird colony. The coastal walk from Drummore village follows the cliff-top path south along the eastern edge of the Rhins peninsula, with magnificent views across to Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the Cumbrian mountains.
This is a wild, exposed walk best suited to confident walkers and dogs that are good off-lead. The cliffs are high and the path is unfenced in places, so keep dogs close near the edges. Between April and July the RSPB reserve at the Mull is alive with nesting guillemots, razorbills, and kittiwakes — dogs must be kept on lead within the reserve boundary at this time.
The Mull of Galloway Visitor Centre has seasonal toilets and a cafe, making it a worthwhile destination in its own right. Most walkers park at the Mull and walk a 2-mile circular instead — the full 6-mile route from Drummore suits those wanting a proper half-day adventure. A shuttle or taxi back from the Mull is the easiest option for a one-way walk.
