Kippford

Today's the day ………………………. for a Sunday stroll

A walk today along the Solway coast between the small villages of Kippford and Rockliffe.  The path between the two which are only a few kilometers apart is by a scenic track known as the Jubilee Path. 

Kippford is a popular sailing village, with many small yachts moored in the tidal estuary of the River Urr. And for the past 40 years there has been a D class lifeboat maintained by the RNLI there. The lifeboat service shares use of the village's public slipway.  In the past, the village was also involved in the shipbuilding industry, albeit on a very small scale.

Apparently 'some of the most expensive properties in Dumfries & Galloway are to be found in Kippford, which is known as the Solway Riviera' ………………………..!
