Aldouran Wetland Garden is a hidden gem in the quiet northern half of the Rhins of Galloway, largely undiscovered by tourists (until now?). The garden was created by a community effort in or around 2005 and is a real labour of love, especially when you take into account the small size of the village. The site splits into several separate zones, including a sensory garden, large ponds and a sculpture trail. At its western edge, wetland gradually morphs into a wilder woodland zone, and finally into Aldouran Glen, separately managed by the Woodland Trust. This is well worth a visit in itself, or you could easily combine the two – the paths join up.
