Location

Nunholm Road sits on the edge of Dumfries, in a leafy and secluded position, yet is only a short distance from this active country town which provides excellent amenities including schooling, a newly built hospital, shops and sports clubs.   

The M74, which is the main route between England and Scotland, is close to Dumfries and there are railway stations at both Dumfries and Lockerbie. The southwest of Scotland is well known for its mild climate, attractive, unspoilt countryside in abundance and diversity of recreational pursuits and field sports including shooting and stalking as well as trout and salmon fishing on numerous rivers and lochs.   A wide variety of beaches, coastal paths and beautiful walks are within easy reach. There are water sports and sailing on Loch Ken and the Solway Firth along with excellent hillwalking and cycling along the many cycling routes including the 7 Stanes, a nationally renowned network of mountain biking trails in the hills and forest parks. In 2009 the International Dark Sky Association confirmed Dark Sky status on the Galloway Forest Park, the first in Scotland to be so designated.   

There are several excellent golf courses within travelling distance within the area including Dumfries County, Thornhill and the championship course at Southerness on the picturesque Solway coast.
