Welcome to Garroch Glen Garroch Glen is a beautiful area of upland moors and wooded valley set in the heart of the Galloway Hills, sixty miles from the English border.
The landscape includes ancient woodland, more than 4,500 acres of lowland and upland farm land, rivers and burns, small lochs and dams as well as waterfalls (in wetter seasons) and ancient farming settlements.Our summit is the Milyea (2,250 feet), which is the start of the Rhinns of Kells range of hills.		At Garroch there is a vast range of activities to enjoy, such as: Environmental tours, including sites of special scientific interest; Hill walking (we have fourteen walks, from 300m to 12 miles); Guided horse and pony rides; Horse-drawn carriage rides; fishing and shooting.
	Amongst our resident wildlife are red deer, roe deer, wild goats, otters, mink, stoat, game birds, birds of prey, red squirrels, badgers, salmon, brown trout, adders, woodland birds, owls and a symphony of frogs.  Moorland hill plants change with the seasons and the woodlands display Victorian plantings of daffodils, snow drops, primroses, azaleas, rhododendrons, roses, and deciduous trees which make for a golden autumn. In winter the snowcapped hills are stunning.
