Dumfries and Galloway walks

This dog-Friendly circular walk goes from Annan to Brydekirk following the river Annan.

This circular walk will bring you to visit Minehead. Then, go up to reach Coran of Portmark offering amazing views over Loch Doon Below on a clear day and come back via Black Craig.

A level coastal walk with long vistas, lonely beaches and a choice of lengths starting at RSPB Mersehead... This is a lovely walk at all times of year, but it is particularly interesting in winter when the migrant birds gather in their thousands at Mersehead RSPB Nature Reserve.

The loop from Balcary Bay, along the cliffs to Rascarrel beach is a beautiful walk. An exhilarating cliff top walk with far reaching views. There are three route options so you can choose a walk of different lengths. Or, if you don't like heights, you can miss out the cliff section altogether - but then you would miss the section with the best views.

The hike up to the top of the Merrick (843 m / 2765 ft) is a wonderful day out on varied and interesting terrain with lovely views for almost the entire way.

A hike up past the spectacular Gray Mare's Tail waterfall to the remote and tranquil Loch Skeen

The Mull of Galloway is the southernmost point of Scotland. This walk follows the coastline for part of the route before heading inland to cross the peninsula. Today it is a nature reserve managed by the RSPB and you can see a wide variety of birdlife in season.
