This linear mixed wood has a variety of habitats, bordering both farmland and the River Annan. There are way-marked paths. Entry to the wood can be made at various points. This is ideal for walkers of varying abilities. Part of the woodland is along one of the Annan walks, so even longer walks and other circular routes can be enjoyed by visitors. Facilities are available in Brydekirk and Annan. The mixed nature of the wood/local area give rise to a large array of chances for wildlife watching.
