Barnsoul Farm, Shawhead, Dumfries & Galloway

Barnsoul is a working farm of nearly 300 acres of wooded parkland abounding in wildlife - fox, deer, red squirrels and even the occasional otter. There are over one hundred different species of bird life, including some very rare examples.

Our Chalets, Sheiling and Wigwam Bothies are situated in front of the "Big Wood". They overlook the Mill Pond enjoying superb views across the Old Water Valley.

Wherever you turn there are magnificent views of the rolling Galloway countryside. In the fields graze the traditional black cattle of Galloway and Scottish black face sheep.

Visitors often observe our wild deer group grazing quietly among the cattle and the local fox surrepticiously following his daily hunting route across the farm.

Use our woodland trails and paths to observe nature at first hand. Our "Big Wood" is a natural children's playground.
