Looking for a fun way to get active and explore the great outdoors? 🚲🥾

Eskdalemuir Hub is offering regular guided cycle rides and walks for people of all abilities, with a variety of routes and distances to suit everyone.

Whether you're keen to explore the beautiful Eskdalemuir countryside on foot or two wheels, these sessions are a great opportunity to get active, discover new places and meet others along the way!

Sessions meet at Eskdalemuir Old School Hub.

This activity supports the Dumfries and Galloway Physical Activity Strategy, encouraging people across the region to enjoy the physical, mental and social benefits of being active outdoors.

For more information, membership enquiries or to find out about upcoming rides and walks, contact Eskdalemuir Hub or visit www.eskdalemuir.com/eskape-active-travel

As we explore the potential relocation of GP services to Galloway Community Hospital Campus, we want to understand what's working well, what could be improved and what people would expect from any future arrangements.

If you're registered with one of the GP practices currently based at Waverley Medical Centre, use the Oak Tree Family Centre or outpatient mental health services, or are someone in the local community with an interest, we'd really value your feedback.
