Ronald Turnbull has chosen 15 of the best short walks around Dumfries and Galloway for you to explore. Our guide comes with easy-to-read Ordnance Survey maps and clear route descriptions, perfect if you're new to walking or are looking for something you can enjoy with the whole family.
We've included information on local beauty spots and tasty refreshment stops, and most of the walks can be completed in under 4 hours.
We haven't included any walks with challenging terrain or complicated navigation, and all you'll need to take with you are a waterproof jacket and a pair of comfortable trainers.
