The surrounding area offers a wealth of outdoor activities, from scenic walks to picturesque parks, ensuring there is always something to explore and enjoy.

Langholm is a historic market town located in the far eastern part of Dumfries and Galloway, in southern Scotland, very close to the Scottish–English border. It occupies a strategic position in a deep and narrow valley where the River Esk meets the River Ewes, a landscape that has strongly shaped the town’s development, character, and economy over centuries.

Geographically, Langholm sits within the Southern Uplands, a range of rounded hills that dominate much of southern Scotland. These hills rise steeply around the town, creating a natural bowl of moorland, pasture, and forestry. The surrounding terrain is largely rural and sparsely populated, with sheep farming and forestry being the main land uses. This gives Langholm a distinctly remote and pastoral setting, despite being relatively accessible by road.

In terms of regional context:

  • It is about 25 mile north of Carlisle.

  • Around 28 miles east of Dumfries.

  • Roughly 75 miles south of Edinburgh.
