With some time to spare after Southerness and Caerlaverock, we were driving through Cummertrees and spotted a footpath beside the church down to the coast. The church looked fascinating so we took a walk around the grounds. The church itself is now a holiday property which has retained many of the original features of the church's interior such as the alter in the living room....worth a google to be nosy! Public access is allowed to the graveyard. The church is 18th Century but the original footprint dates back to the 13th century when it was commissioned by Robert the Bruce. It was restored in 2015.
We then walked down the path to the coast at Powfoot. The coast wasn't particularly interesting but the wood that you walk through to get there was a good mix of tree species and fen with some very old rhododendron trees. It was nice to find some stinkhorn eggs too.
