We live in a fast-paced society. Walking slows us down - Robert Sweetgall Ditch the hotel this weekend for a stay here at Dell-Mar Bed and Breakfast, with so many amazing walks a weekend just isn`t long enough. Take a hike up Grey Mare`s Tail or a gentle stroll along the river, here are my Top 4 walks you can enjoy here in and around Moffat. But if these are not enough, we`ll point you in the right direction to some of our other favourites. As you head out of Moffat along the A708 towards Selkirk, you`ll see this iconic landmark. Grey Mare`s Tail is a spectacular waterfall that plunges 60m down from Loch Skeen in the hills. Parking is £3.00 for the day so there`s no need to rush. It`s a good old hike to the top but well worth the breath-taking views once you get there. Take a picnic and a flask of tea and as you reach Loch Skeen sit, relax and enjoy the peace and quite, you`ll love it. I love this walk and especially if the sun is shining, the views are amazing. It`s not a strenuous walk and this makes it all the more to enjoy. Again heading on the A708 towards Selkirk St Mary`s Loch is about 30 minutes drive from Moffat. Parking is free at James Hogg`s memorial, here you`ll find a small café where you can pop in for a cuppa and a bite to eat. It`s a circular walk and about 7 miles, if you`re lucky enough you might see the odd fighter jet flying by. I`d recommend stopping off at St Mary`s Kirkyard and enjoy the view, it`s truly magical.
However Moffat has some beautiful scenery just a few minutes walk out of town, and anytime of the day you can pop your boots on and take a wee wander around the beautiful countryside, from Gallow Hill, Hind Hill or even just along the river, there`s something to suit every ability. We`d be happy to help you plan your weekend getaway here in Moffat
