Situated adjacent to the 16th Century Galdenoch Castle on a large working farm, guests can enjoy WALKS around the farm. Paths lead to 2 BBQ HUTS at Loch More and Salt Pan Bay where they can rest and enjoy a barbeque, take in the panoramic views to Ireland and enjoy the coastline with its sheltered beaches.
The WILDLIFE is varied from seals to basking sharks, birds, deer and mountain goats.
Situated about seven miles north-west from Stranraer, this ruin stands secluded in a hollow dell.
Galdenoch is a small mid-16th century three storey, plus attic, L-plan tower house. Built with extremely small stones, it has crow stepped gables and a single angle turret at the southern angle.
The door is in the re-entrant angle and once led straight onto the main stair, in the wing, which is a storey higher than the main block and ended with a watch room, once reached by a very small turret stair. This led only to the first floor, from where further access was by a narrow turnpike, corbelled out internally, which is very unusual.
The ground floor of the main block is vaulted. The hall above has a fire place measuring 9 feet across and two wardrobes in the north wall. Above the door, in the wall of the main block, a small panel records the date of construction and the initials of the builder, Gilbert Agnew, 2nd son of Andrew Agnew of Lochnaw, who was killed at the Battle of Pinkie
Heavy fines imposed on the family for their support of the Covenanters and a failed attempt to establish salt pans on the coast nearby, left them in financial ruin at the end of the 17th century.
The castle is not open to the public but can be viewed externally.
