Galaside Woodland

Galaside Wood, thought to be around 300 hundred years old, is a ribbon shaped wood situated on a slope in the Esk Valley. Galaside separates the Holmwood area of Langholm from the rest of the town and overlooks the 'bowl' that the 'Muckle Toon' town sits in. Several paths connect the two areas of the town via the wood. The paths vary, being a combination of steps, old path or cinder-type track. Views to the hills & the local amenities in the town make this small wood worth a visit.
