Lewinside Wood Land Management Plan

Lewinside is a 65 hectare former dairy farm located in South Lanarkshire, 3 km (just under 2 miles) south of Forth and just west of Braehead. Lewinside wraps around Winnyknowe Wood, which is to the southeast. To the north and south there is mixed agricultural land. Mouse Water forms Lewinside’s western boundary.
