Walking
The village of Wanlockhead sits directly on the Southern Upland Way and conveniently is around halfway along the track. If you are interested in walking the route, more information can be found at www.southernuplandway.com

For the avid hillwalker who hasn't the time to do the Southern Upland Way, the hostel is a convenient place to stay as a base to conquer the numerous hills in the surrounding area.
