Venue Description

In the heart of Galloway Forest Park, Clatteringshaws Visitor Centre sits on the shores of the loch, offering the chance for a lovely lunch or excellent elevenses with a gorgeous view. It's also the ideal place to discover why Galloway is internationally-designated as a Dark Sky Park for its stargazing, if you come after dark.
