Sitting on the banks of the River Cree in Wigtownshire, Newton Stewart - often called the ‘gateway to the Galloway Hills’ - is a picturesque choice for anyone looking to purchase a property in rural Dumfries and Galloway. Newton Stewart is surrounded by starkly beautiful countryside, with the Galloway Forest Park to its north, and the Machars - an area of undulating grassland - to its south. The town itself is a bustling community with several supermarkets, independent retailers and top-class eating establishments.
