Green Hill Walk
 

A challenging medium length walk which follows the Water of Ae before climbing up to some of the best viewpoints towards Queensberry Hill.

Please wear good boots and carry suitable hill walking equipment, as the weather can change quickly.

How to get there:

Green Hill Walk can be started from Ae Valley Car Park in Forest of Ae which is part of Forests of the Southern Uplands. Ae, Dumfries, Moffat, and Thornhill are the nearest towns or villages.

Follow the A701 from Dumfries or Moffat. Take a turning just south of Parkgate, signposted Forest of Ae and follow this road for 2 miles. At the crossroads in Ae Village, keep straight on for another half a mile and the signposted turning for 'Ae Valley car park' where all the forest walks start.
