The land where the River Nith meets the Solway Firth has always been a wild place – the name ‘Caerlaverock’ meaning ‘land of the lark’. The magnificent Caerlaverock Castle was built here in the late 13th Century, as a residence as well as a stronghold. The castle suffered badly in Anglo-Scottish warfare, but the woodland swamps and vast tidal sandbanks beyond remained untouched.

A visual melting pot of swirling blues and greys, the mudflats and saltmarsh of Caerlaverock provide a winter feast for birds like barnacle geese, bar tailed godwit and knot.
