We will be travelling along the A75 tomorrow from Carlisle to Stranraer. Do any of you good folk know of a nice stopping place along the way, around Dumfries, preferably with toilets and a bit of a dog walk?
Thanks

If you use the "old" route through Dumfries rather than the new ring-road, there's a carpark with toilets down beside the river, GPS 55.064632, -3.608844

Alternatively, there is a Shell garage with a Little Chef beside it on the approach to Dumfries, immediately before you would join the ring-road, and both have toilets. Not much opportunity for dog-walking perhaps, but plenty of lay-bys on the A75.
Thanks guys. I've had a look on Streetview and it looks great. The car park looks to be ok for caravans too. I guess we could take up two spaces in the middle?

We've used it many times with a caravan, and never had a problem.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
