Footpath to Creebridge
Probably not in the top ten walks to do in Newton Stewart past the Sewage Pumping Station but it is the shortest route from town to Creebridge, needs must.

Camp site, Creebridge
Remaining buildings and the road layout suggest that this was a c. World War II establishment. A quick check revealed that it is the site of a prisoner of war camp, mainly used to house Italians. Judging by my grandparent's accounts of Italian PoWs they would have worked on local farms and forests and some of their descendants will probably still be in the area. I wonder what it was used for in post war years? I bet forestry was involved. (Anyway I have not tagged this as a PoW camp, as it may give a misleading impression of my experiences staying here).
The campsite is a very good one and had up to date facilities. My corner paddock was very rich in wildlife and gave an experience akin to sleeping in a native woodland. Lovely friendly place.
