Wild Goat Park

A large enclosure beside the Queen’s Way gives families a chance to look for Galloway’s British Primitive Goats. The animals have room to roam among rocky slopes rather than being gathered for a guaranteed close-up view.

Before you go

The goats move around and can disappear among the rocks, especially in summer. A sighting is not guaranteed. The signed car park is on the north side of the A712.
