Lilypad Lodge...
Lilypad Lodge is located near Glencaple in Dumfries & Galloway. Surrounded by beautiful countryside walks it is ideal for those guests who enjoy the outdoors.
Just beyond Glencaple is the fairy tale-like Caerlaverock Castle. Meaning ‘fort of the skylark,’ Caerlaverock is a moated triangular castle, first built in the 13th century, and was once home to Clan Maxwell.
Adjacent to Caerlaverock Castle is Caerlaverock WWT Nature Reserve, one time host of the BBC’s Autumnwatch, is a 1500 acre area of farmland, mudflat, salt-marsh and freshwater wetland situated along the Solway coast and home to thousands of wild fowl, waders and water loving mammals during any given season.
Hides are scattered across a wide expanse of the reserve, allowing visitors to take full advantage of the sights and sounds of nature on offer, including osprey and natterjack toads in spring, butterflies, skylark and badgers in summer, 27’000 Svalbard barnacle geese and whopper swans in autumn and huge starling murmuration’s winter. It’s a great location to immerse kids in the wonder of nature, with feeding sessions, sculptural installations and art exhibitions, not to mention the annual Puddle Jumping Championships, to also help keep them occupied.
Dumfries itself is a short 18 minute drive away, this historical market town has a wonderful array of local attractions and a rich Scottish history.
