Walkers are Welcome Town - Langholm

Sitting in the Scottish borders, the Langholm area is characterised by beautiful river valleys between green, rounded hills. The hills in the area covered by The Langholm Walks Booklet are not of great height – The highest point is 1705ft.- but many of them command magnificent views.

"After decades of decline, the town at its foot is looking up again, in more ways than one. Margaret Pool embodies its optimism: “We’d like to think we can create sufficient jobs and prospects to keep more young people [here].
The land coming into our ownership has given the community a real sense of wellbeing.”
