Easy/Moderate 7 Day Walking Breaks

Our 7 Day Walks comprise 7 different daily self-led walks (we provide the necessary information and advice) which you can do in whatever order you wish.
As with our Snapshot of Scotland 4 day breaks, with our Glorious Galloway 7 day breaks you can pre-arrange and change accommodation and walks half way though your walking tour if you wish.

Extra days walking or accommodation can be added if required.

Further information on the tours available are shown below. We also arrange tailor made tours.

Accommodation
Seven day tours comprise 7 nights accommodation, i.e. accommodation on the night before the tour starts, and the next 6 nights.
Should you prefer not to have 7 days accommodation at the same place, we can pre-arrange another accommodation place half way through your walking break to another of our walking areas if you prefer. Click here to see the Accommodation List. Accommodation can also be arranged after the last walking day if required.

We normally meet walkers at the first night's accommodation, provide the tour information pack and go over the tour itinerary.

Arrival Walk/Stroll
Depending on arrival time in Castle Douglas on the day before the tour starts, we can suggest a self-led afternoon or evening stroll on a new walk to acclimatise to the area by Carlingwark loch or to the nearby iconic Threave Castle. The ruined castle is situated 2 miles out of town on an island in the River Dee. It is operated by Historic Scotland and by ringing the bell, the boatman will take you over to the island where the castle imposes itself on the Galloway skyline.

We offer 9 Seven Day Walking Breaks:

1. Glorious Galloway Walks - 7 options.
2. Bonnie Galloway Walk
3. Walking and Sightseeing Tour

Glorious Galloway Walking Tours

We have 7 'Glorious Galloway' Week-long Walking Breaks, - one from each of our accommodation bases. They are specifically designed to give walkers the experience of different types of typical Scottish terrain i.e. coast, countryside, woodland and some easy hills - all as far as possible within a 7 day walking break.
You can choose which order to do the different distanced walks in, do two short ones in one day if you prefer or have a rest day during your break. All the walks are selected by us as being a good combination for the easy to moderate category walker according.

The Glorious Galloway walking breaks page outlines the 7 different walking break options for your consideration.

The Bonnie Galloway Walking Tour

This tour combines what we think are some excellent walks for a week-long tour in different areas of the region – but still accessible by car within a reasonable time each day.  We provide information on other things to see and do while in the areas of each of your daily walks.
Two accommodation centres are used - 4 nights in Castle Douglas or Auchencairn area 3 nights in Newton Stewart Newton Stewart - 33  miles apart. Our Accommodation List provides information on the different accommodation available.

Walking and Sightseeing Tour

The tour combines some excellent walks with other interesting features, whether natural, historical or cultural. After you daily walk in the morning, with possibly a bar lunch to restore your energy, nearby are features or a visitor attraction which you may wish to visit to pass some of the rest of the day.  Three accommodation centres are used, i.e. The Solway Coast in east Galloway; Gatehouse of Fleet or Kirkcudbright in mid Galloway and Newton Stewart or Wigtown in west Galloway.
