Newton Stewart, known as the Gateway to the Galloway Hills, has a number of primary schools, the Douglas Ewart High School, Merrick Leisure Centre, a museum, three supermarkets, a post office which offers all postal and banking services, a cinema, and a wide range of shops, offices, businesses, hotels and restaurants. The area is well known for outdoor pursuits and sports. Kirroughtree Visitor Centre is situated approximately 1.7 miles from South View and is part of the Seven Stanes range of mountain biking trails. Fishing, shooting, curling, golf and equestrian facilities are all readily available throughout the area.
The Galloway International Dark Sky Park was the first forest in the UK to achieve dark sky status, and with the designation as a gold tier Dark Sky Park, Galloway Forest Park enjoys some of the best views and conditions for stargazing. Trains to Ayr and Glasgow are available at Stranraer, about 24 miles from Newton Stewart, and ferries to Northern Ireland sail from nearby Cairnryan.
