The Galloway Hills are small, but special. They stretch just 20km west to east, and 40km north to south – even smaller than Snowdonia. Within this largely pathless area there are 29 summits over 600m, including 4 Corbetts
      If you like your wild landscape really wild; if you like to have one foot on bare rock and the other deep in a peat bog; if you like your granite with goats on – then Galloway is the place to go.
•      granite heartland, lochs, rivers, ancient oakwood
•      Galloway Forest Park
•      3-day 'Not the West Highland Way' expedition
