There are many historic landmarks in and around Annan to look out for, including Annandale Distillery, Hoddom Castle, and the town hall, built in 1878 from local sandstone. Perhaps the town’s most famous landmark is Annan Bridge. Built in the 19th century, it was designed by Robert Stevenson and featured three distinctive stone arches. Self-catering holidays in Annan allow visitors to experience one of the region’s best-loved traditions – the Riding of the Marches, featuring a mounted cavalcade every year on the first Saturday of July. The annual bagpipe festival also attracts visitors from far and wide. Annan holiday cottages are popular among hikers, thanks to the Annandale Way, a beautiful 53-mile route from the source of the River Annan to the sea. 

Directly to the town’s south, the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is home to sweeping sandy beaches and rocky coastal walks.
