Ruins of Leswalt Old Church Not much of the medieval parish church remains standing. The main part, the nave, would have been just behind the building on the right, where a mass of vegetation is now growing. The taller gable is part of the Agnew aisle, added during the 17th century. The window was to the "Laird's Loft", a private gallery for the Agnew family of Lochnaw Castle. For more information see http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/60841/details/leswalt+old+parish+church+and+burial+ground/ .

Leswalt Community Garden A very pleasant garden, consisting mainly of raised beds. It is managed by the Leswalt Community Association, with the involvement of several youth groups. Two colourful boxes in this view have logos for the Rainbows and Brownies. For more information see the garden's website - http://www.leswaltwetlandgarden.org.uk/index.html .

Things went wrong that were outwith the hotels control. The staff went above and beyond to make up for the issue. We had a lovely stay as a result and would heartily recommend the Portpatrick hotel to others. Fantastic hospitality.
