The Whithorn Way
The Whithorn Way is a 152-mile walking and cycling route that traces ancient paths to medieval pilgrimage sites such as St Ninian’s Cave. Around Whithorn, new wide gravel trails provide excellent opportunities for both cyclists and walkers, forming a growing network of scenic off-road routes. Whithorn itself is a captivating corner of South-West Scotland, steeped in history and natural beauty. Once a major medieval pilgrimage destination, it remains the spiritual heart of the region as the home of St Ninian — the 4th-century Christian saint, miracle worker, and possibly Scotland’s first missionary.
