Longer 7 day Breaks
We have a selection of 7 day walks with various accommodation bases in the Easy/Moderate walks category. They are designed for those who have a week available for a walking tour or who may wish to undertake some other activity during their break, either within our area or outwith e.g. a city break to Glasgow or Edinburgh. 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.
Seven day tours comprise 7 nights accommodation, i.e. accommodation on the night before the tour starts, and the next 6 nights. 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.
Depending on arrival time on the day before the tour starts, if starting your tour at our base, free of charge, we offer a new walk to acclimatise to the area 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. If you do not manage it on your arrival day there will be other opportunites if you wish to visit it.
