The area is of great cultural heritage interest, chronicled by many writers including Sir Walter Scott. The Reivers Way runs through the valley and there are many historic sites nearby including Hermitage Castle where Mary Queen of Scots visited the wounded Bothwell, riding over the moors from Jedburgh, dropping her time piece on the way in the Queen's Mire which is on the hill above the house. There are splendid hill walks starting right at the door, and less challenging walks along the burns, through ancient woodland carpeted with primroses in May. Langholm Moor is protected for its hen harriers, and there is an abundance of bird life in the valley and on the hills.
