The Galloway Trail


    The Galloway Trail - a 5 day walking holiday through the heart of Dumfries and Galloway.

    For walkers wishing to experience the Southern Upland Way and enjoy a great walk in less than one week then this short but popular itinerary may just be the thing for you.

    The 'Galloway Trail’ is a 5 day / 6 night itinerary taking in a 66 mile section of the Southern Upland Way (averaging 13 miles per day) from Portpatrick to St John’s Town of Dalry cutting through the heart of Dumfries and Galloway surrounded by spectacular scenery and includes vehicle support to reduce the longer sections of the route to make more manageable stages.

    Drive to our offices in Dalry on a Sunday afternoon and enjoy a warm welcome, a cup of tea and some local shortbread. Leave your car with us and we will then transfer you, via the Galloway Forest Park, to the scenic and popular harbour village of Portpatrick for your first nights’ accommodation in superb accommodation at the Waterfront Hotel.

    Then take a gentle journey home on the Saturday refreshed and eager to return to this wonderful area or alternatively, take advantage of a third additional night at the Ken Bridge Hotel.

    We will move your bags (or you can carry them) and we will ensure that you will enjoy some great hospitality along the way.
