New Abbey and River Nith (GPS Track)
GPS Track Overview

Distance:            11.6 km
Difficulty:          mostly easy
Height Difference:   50 m
 

Start at the bus stop just outside New Abbey.  Visit the little church and then the beautiful Sweetheart Abbey.  From there walk across fields to Airds Point at the River Nith.  Follow the road on the river bank to Kirkconnel.  (Please note: If you follow my track, you will walk on the merse for a stretch from Airds Point; this is difficult terrain, therefore I would recommend that you follow the road from Airds Point right from the beginning). From Kirkconnel go back to New Abbey and have a look around.  There is another bus stop in the center of New Abbey.
