The Kentigern Way follows the banks of the River Annan northwards through Brydekirk to Hoddom and St. Kentigern’s Graveyard. (Food is available at Hoddom Castle and limited accommodation facilities are available at Hoddom). For walkers arriving in Annan by public transport this may make a convenient stopping point for an initial short day’s walking. Beyond Hoddom the route continues north-westwards to reach the ruins of St Mungo’s Church.
From here a choice of route is available. If continuing to Lochmaben the westward branch of the Annandale way is followed. On approaching Castle Loch on the south side of Lochmaben the ruined remains of Lochmaben Castle can be visited.
If accommodation is not available in Lochmaben a wider range of accommodation facilities is available in Lockerbie. To reach Lockerbie take the road north-eastwards leading from St Mungo’s church for just over 1 km towards Shawhead, where the east leg of the Annandale way is encountered. This is then followed to Lockerbie.
