Galashiels Walking Festival Spring 2025

Join us this April for the Galashiels Walking Festival Spring 2025! Now in it's 9th year, this Festival has some great walks, with something for everyone. We'll be starting this Festival with an evening walk to the historic Torwoodlee Tower on Thursday 24th April. With some walks taking in scenic views from the Eildons, Gala Hill, Broadmeadows & the Three Brethren, Duchess Drive and the Southern Upland Way from Traquair to Galashiels, there will always be something of our stunning countryside on display. There will also be shorter walks available closer to Galashiels, including an accessible and buggy friendly walk around our beautiful Gala Policies. For this Festival, Take to the Water are offering two "dook and donder" events, combining a walk with a dip in either Cauldshiels Loch or the River Tweed. And, if you fancy trying out walking rugby, there's a session available at Galashiels Rugby Club included in this Festival. Come and join us - it's going to be great!
