Galloway Holidays

Walking

As Galloway Walking Holidays, we have been arranging walking holidays and short breaks for 4 years. In addition to the walks listed on our website www.gallowaywalking.co.uk , we specialise in personalising and tailor making tours to suit walkers' abilities and other interests.

We really only cover Dumfries and Galloway region - and mainly west of Dumfries as far as the Mull of Galloway and Stranraer, the ferry port, from where you can even take a day trip to Belfast and bus tour in N. Ireland.

We basically use our knowledge of the best existing walks and features of the region to design our walking breaks and holidays according to the preferences of customers, i.e. walking distance, nature and difficulty, walk type - whether coastal , countryside or hills and nearby features and places of interest, - including tea rooms and pubs at the end for refreshment whenever possible!

We are a 'friend in the area' and provide support should there be any problems along the way.

We arrange accommodation and transport luggage ahead if required. We also have a minibus for walk drop offs and pickups and also use for airport and railway stations pickups.

Mountain Biking

As Galloway Cycling Holidays, we have been arranging mountain biking breaks for 7 years. In addition to the mountain biking packages listed on our website www.gallowaycycling.co.uk , we specialise in personalising and tailor making mountain biking breaks to suit customer requirements. This includes accommodation and packages featuring up to five of the acclaimed 7 Stanes mountain biking centres in Dumfries and Galloway region, Dalbeattie, Mabie, Ae, Kirrooughtree and Glentrool as well as at Drumlanrig Castle, with their excellent mountain biking trails. Our base in Castle Douglas is in the centre of the region and ideally situated to visit these venues.

As mainly cycling holiday tour operators, we are the first to say we have limited experience on the more technical and difficult trails and simply liaise with local experts who are qualified and do tuition and also guided rides.

Our strengths include excellent knowledge of the region and can also arrange an outdoor holiday in the area to combine other activities and interests - maybe for non-biking members of a group.

We arrange accommodation and transport luggage ahead if required. We also have a minibus for airport and railway stations pickups.

Cycling

Galloway Cycling Holidays have been arranging cycling holidays and short breaks for 7 years. In addition to the tours listed on our website www.gallowaycycling.co.uk , we specialise in personalising and tailor making tours to suit cyclists' abilities - from short and easy paced coastal routes with few hills up to cycling demanding upland hills and glens. Our website testimonials speak volumes.

We really only cover Dumfries and Galloway region - from the border with England at Gretna Green to the Mull of Galloway and Stranraer, the ferry port to Belfast, N. Ireland. We know the area well and every year make a point of updating our knowledge on any changes with accommodation, tea rooms, pubs, restaurants and visitor attractions.

Of course knowledge of the best cycle routes and quiet country roads with great coastal or countryside scenery is ultra important. We often provide extra miles detours and short-cut options to provide flexibility depending on weather and other circumstances. We are a 'friend in the area' and provide support should there be any problems along the way.

We arrange accommodation, hire our cycles and transport luggage ahead. We also have a minibus for pickups from airports, railway stations or bus stops.
