If you choose to walk the entire route, whether in one go or in sections, I’d urge you not to rush through this marvellous country. There is much to see and enjoy. Remember that you are on holiday, not on a gruelling assault course. Relax and enjoy the area, particularly if it is your first visit. There are several possibilities along the route for taking off a half-day, a full day or even several days to visit a place of interest, public garden, museum or the like, or, if you are a compulsive walker, to enjoy some of the first-rate hill walking on offer in the area. This guidebook provides several ideas for breaks from the route, and the tourist offices on or near the SUW will provide other information and inspiration.

On Broomy Law west of Three Brethren (Stage 11)

Of course if you have no desire to walk the entire length of the SUW you can still enjoy sections of it on day walks or longer outings. The SUW offers a good, well waymarked walking route through some wonderful countryside and can be used in part by all types of walkers, from those content with a leisurely stroll of a mile or two to committed long-distance and hill walkers. Hillwalkers will find that the SUW forms convenient and easy access routes into remote hill country and after a hard day on the pathless tops often provides an undemanding and relatively fast route of return to the car and civilisation.
