The sandy soil of the riverbank means that this walk can be comparatively dry underfoot even after heavy rain. The route is level and easy going with views across the river. It could easily be extended to loop down to Keir Mill Bridge and back through Blawplain Farm, or on to Penpont. The celtic cross near the start looked particularly interesting but unfortunately the field it sits is was newly planted so I couldn’t get as close as I would have liked (you can read about it in McMillan’s Galloway as it has an entry all to itself).
I think I walked a bit further than the D&G guide intends so don’t take my route too literally.
