Langholm
Walking Festival 6-8 June 2008
This will be
our 7th annual Walking Festival. There is a selection of 13
guided walks over the weekend which will explore the beautiful countryside
of Langholm and Eskdale in the South of Scotland. The area is characterised
by beautiful river valleys between green, rounded hills. The hills rise to
500 metres (1600 feet) many of them commanding magnificent views.
The Festival
walks range in length from 4 – 10 miles and vary in degree of difficulty
from easy to strenuous plus. The valleys of the Rivers, Esk, Ewes and
Wauchope and Tarras Waters are extensively explored and contain many lovely
corners that can only be reached on foot. The walks also take in
interesting historical sites and a variety of woodland. Some of the walks
cover the beautiful SSSI moorland area and
Tarras
Valley. All walks are
led by experienced leaders who will explain as much as possible about the
history, wildlife etc of the area as you walk.
A NEW
CHALLENGE FOR 2008 – Langholm’s Five Hills – a serious challenge!
There is
evening entertainment on the Friday and Saturday and our renowned delicious
home made teas follow the walks. Come and enjoy a friendly welcome in
Scotland’s
beautiful ‘Muckle Toon’.
