Curling and horse riding are also well established in the area, with facilities such as the Stranraer & District Riding Club and the curling rink at North West Castle.DESCRIPTION Tucked away in the heart of the picturesque village of Portpatrick, Hillcroft is a charming three-bedroom bungalow set on a generous plot.
