Woodlands - Gala Policies – Easy Access Path to Viewpoint

A wide hard surfaced path with low gradients can be followed to a viewpoint.
Gala Policies, by Swimming Pool, Galashiels
Open all year.
From behind the swimming pool, go along the wide path which was the old driveway. Continue on the same driveway keeping to the right of a grassy area. Follow the driveway as it sweeps to the left to reach a mound which is the site of the New Gala House. At this point when you come out into an open area turn right onto a hard surfaced path which continues into the woods and then takes a gently sloping route to the top of the meadow and the viewpoint.
From here there are views of the meadow and around the hillsides of the Galashiels area including Gala Hill, Meigle Hill, Langlee woods, Buckholm Hill and Ladhope Moor. Return is by the same route, other routes may also be possible.
