Below is a non exhaustive list of who will enjoy Waterside and the surrounding areas:
Hunters - Although we don't permit hunting on the grounds a number of syndicates operate in the area within a short distance and often base themselves from Waterside.
Anglers - The river Bladnoch which runs along the perimeter of the property provides excellent fishing for both migratory and non-migratory species. This is available onsite free of charge with the owners prior consent.
Astronomy/Astrophotography -The nearby Galloway Forest has since 2009 been designated a gold tier dark sky park due to its breath taking and rare stargazing conditions. Those conditions are almost replicated at Waterside with bortle 2 skies, this provides incredible dark skies for astronomy and astrophotography enthusiasts.
Walkers/Mountain Bikers – Dumfries and Galloway is famed for its mountain bike routes including the most spectacular rides of the 7 Stanes, Glentrool is either 20 minutes by car or a little warm up bike ride, through the forest and heath lands past Ochiltree loch. The Kirroughtree trails are also within reach via a 30 minute drive. The Southern Upland Way route goes right past Waterside. A suitable stop off for both ambitious walkers transiting the route in its entirety and shorter more exploratory walkers looking to visit Laggangarn and the Wells of Rees or in the opposite direction to Bargrennan.
