This route, from the church at Glasserton to the chapel at Isle of Whithorn takes advantage of new footpaths which have been installed at part of the Whithorn Way.
The walk begins at the newly restored early Georgian church at Glasserton and then takes the new Whithorn Way route through small plantations before heading towards the cliff tops at Port of Counan.
A new section of cliff top path with spectacular views of this secluded rocky coast and across the Solway Firth to the Isle of Man leads to Physgill Glen and the popular coastal path round Burrow Head passing the sites of ancient forts, World War 2 defences and film locations used for the 1973 Wickerman film.
A spring display of clifftop plants and perhaps a glimpse of a grey seal or even an otter is possible.
The route then follows the cliff edge on a narrow path before descending through fields and finishing in the attractive village of the Isle of Whithorn in time for refreshments before catching the return bus.
