Dumfries and Galloway is not the most famous county in Britain, granted, but it deserves more credit than it currently gets. I admit I do live there, and so I am bound to be in favour of it, but there is something special. The down points are the presence of caravan parks and residential homes every four paces, also there is a constant presence of rain and Sellafield across the solway in Cumbria. The people are so friendly and eager to help. If you wish to get away from it all then I recommend Dumfries and Galloway wholeheartedly. Particularly the smaller communities. The villages are so quaint and cheery, with a strong basis on old fashioned values and ideals, there is little crime and violence. The progress of the last two decades has not really hurt the villages, particularly the smaller ones such as Palnackie and Auchencairn on the A711 from Dalbeattie.I live in the area between Castle Douglas and Dalbeattie which in my opinion is one of the nicest. Castle Douglas has basically no crime and it is on the whole a very prosperous town with bright prospects. There is a good mix of age groups and many good amenities such as pubs and restaurants
In conclusion, a lovely part of Britain which deserves more credit.
