Dumfries and Galloway Pathfinder Guidebook

Description

This Dumfries and Galloway Pathfinder Guidebook describes 28 outstanding circular walks in the south-west of Scotland; a broad wedge of land jutting out into the Irish Sea between the Solway Firth and the Firth of Clyde. Each of the routes has information on local amenities, a detailed route description, OS mapping at 1:25,000 scale, plus notes and pictures to help you make the most of your walk.

The routes are all graded for difficulty by experienced walkers and range from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes. The Dumfries and Gallowayarea is part of Scotland's border country which possesses a mild climate, a great variety of scenery and a rich historic legacy, making it a popular destination for holidays and a lush contrast to the more rugged landscapes found just slightly further north. The mountains of Dumfries and Galloway offer plenty of remote and challenging walking, with over 40 peaks that exceed 650m. Also featured are clifftop walks around the Mull of Galloway and Rascarrel Bay, a route around the Solway Marshes plus the pigramage destination of St Ninian's Cave.

Pathfinder Guides are Britainís best-loved walking guides. Printed with weather-resistant covers featuring durable rounded corners, they are the perfect companion for country walking throughout Britain.
