Best walk from Dumfries
Dumfriesshire · Scotland | Walks by train
MapSet out on a beautiful walk directly from Dumfries Station.
Dumfries Station to Annan Station
Leaves Dumfries through riverside and castle parkland, then quiet country roads and a riverside footpath into Glencaple, followed by a long section on the B-roads (B725 then B724) with good verges and broken up by quiet rural tracks. Includes the longest climb of the day on a quiet road. Ruthwell has a small museum worth a stop. Geese, swans and other birdlife abound in the roadside fields.
33km.
Long stretches of B-road walking; the B725 is relatively quiet with good verges, but the B724 becomes busier approaching Annan.
Lunch stop: Queensberry Bay Holiday Park café.
