Whita Well is a spring on the hillside here with an iron cup on a chain - unusual. A nice cup of cold, refreshing water! There is also the "Langholm Common Riding 1759 - 2009" cairn right next to it with some lovely views of the countryside.

Langholm, known locally as 'Muckle Toon', is a pretty border town that sits on the River Esk. Loads of cafes and pubs to refuel. As the town sits in a valley, between 4 hills, you might want to think about refuelling, as you're likely going to be climbing out!
