'Ardwell' (from
Gaelic "Ard Bhaile" meaning "high
town", pronounced as "Ardwell") is a village in the Scottish
unitary council area of
Dumfries and Galloway. It lies on the shores of Luce Bay in the Southern part of the
Rhins of Galloway. The A716 to Drummore or the
Mull of Galloway passes through the village. It contains only two streets, the A716 and Ardwell Park (a street of new houses).
Many of the houses are still owned by Ardwell Estates, and Ardwell House is located around 1/2 mile West of the village in the grounds of Ardwell Garden and looking across Ardwell Pond.
