Walking the Galloway Hills
Cicerone Press (Verlag)
978-1-78631-010-1 (ISBN)
A guidebook to 34 day walks and one long-distance route in the wild and remote hills of Galloway. Although there are some shorter and easier routes, many of these hill walks are long and on rugged terrain, so are more suitable for experienced walkers.
The day walks range from 4-33km (2-20 miles) and can be enjoyed in 2-11 hours, with options to combine routes to form longer days. A 3-day trek covering 82km (53 miles) is also detailed.
1:50,000 OS maps included for each walk
GPX files available to download
Easy access from Newton Stewart, Glentrool village, Loch Trool, Dalmellington, Carsphairn and St John's Town of Dalry
Detailed information on planning, bothies and the history of the area
Sized to easily fit in a jacket pocket
