Walking & Hiking

For the more adventurous

There are many opportunities to enjoy peaceful walking amidst beautiful scenery. The Southern Upland Way passes the end of the road and there are also many challenging walks in the surrounding hills.

For the less ambitious

There are plenty of shorter walks around Sanquhar. The Southern Upland Way is Britain's first official coast-to-coast footpath, between Portpatrick in the west and Cockburnspath in the east. 212 miles in length, it offers excellent varied walking and provides a testing challenge for the experienced walker.

Good Transport Links

Sanquhar railway station means that the town is an ideal stopping or starting point for walkers wanting to do part of the route.
