About

Community woodland with wide views of countryside and sea

Local people have designed the paths here and planted over 100,000 young trees to extend the forest. It’s a great place for a breath of fresh air with wide views across the countryside and the sea. Here you can enjoy watching ferries sailing in and out of Cairnryan. 

There are no waymarked trails here. You’ll find good network of paths to explore this growing and changing woodland.
