Southern Upland Way
Situated
on the route at the halfway point, Lochhouse Farm is 'Walker
Friendly' and offers value for money comfortable
accommodation. Individual walking agendas can be arranged with
luggage transfer, pick up and drop off as well as laundry
and drying facilities. Hot food and supplies can also be provided
The
Southern Upland Way is Britain's first official coast to coast
long distance footpath. It runs 212 miles (340 kms) from Portpatrick
on the south-west coast of Scotland to Cockburnspath on the
eastern seaboard.
It offers superb and varied walking country, still undiscovered by many enthusiasts.
The Way provides a real challenge for the experienced walker, yet some of the
shorter stretches are suitable for families and the less ambitious.
The Southern Uplands have been heavily sculpted and rounded by the effects of
glaciation to leave a series of gently rolling hills with occasional rocky outcrops.For
