The centre also provides guided tours to a reconstructed Iron Age roundhouse and houses a museum of early medieval carved stones.
For nature enthusiasts, the surrounding area offers scenic coastal walks, opportunities for bird watching, and the chance to visit St. Ninian's Cave, a site of historical pilgrimage. The Machars peninsula, where Whithorn is located, is renowned for its natural beauty and tranquil landscapes, providing a perfect backdrop for outdoor activities and exploration.
Whether seeking adventure or tranquillity, Shell Cottage serves as an ideal base to experience the unique blend of comfort and natural beauty that the Portyerrock and Whithorn areas have to offer.
