Dumfries House with it’s 2,000 acre estate is on our doorstep in Ayrshire and is definitely worth a visit after lockdown. You can take a tour of the impressive 18th Century house, famous for its Chippendale furniture collection or enjoy the picturesque gardens which are free entry. If you walk along the meandering gravel paths you can enjoy the beautiful grounds, an arboretum, ponds, fountains, sculptures, tranquil woodland, an arboretum and a Chinese Bridge amongst other attractions.
