Description
A quieter side of Scotland.
Dumfries and Galloway offers forests, coastlines, valleys, and historical sites, providing numerous walking opportunities without venturing far north. This book compiles short excursions showcasing this variety. It is well-suited for those wishing to experience the region at a relaxed pace, combining walks with time in its smaller towns and villages.
Fifteen walks with varied content.
The selection is curated to provide manageable excursions through several types of landscapes. You can choose from forest walks, riverside sections, and coastal options, with historical traces and viewpoints as part of the experience. The short walks allow for exploring one area at a time, while also leaving room for other stops on the same day.
Maps and practical details for each excursion.
Ordnance Survey maps and step-by-step descriptions assist in following the routes. Information on parking, facilities, and potential breaks simplifies planning. Images and highlights provide a quick introduction to what the walks offer, making it easier to choose an option suitable for both your group and your accommodation during your stay.
A manageable selection for flexible holiday days.
This guide is useful for visitors seeking short walks rather than choosing from a large collection of more demanding mountain routes. However, ground conditions and weather must still be assessed, especially along exposed coastal sections and after rain. Use the descriptions to find a suitable plan, and let the variation between landscapes provide opportunities to adapt your day as conditions change.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
