Fey Plantation, located in Wigtownshire, is a picturesque woodland area known for its lush greenery and tranquil atmosphere. Spanning across several acres, this enchanting forest is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The plantation is primarily composed of a diverse range of trees, including oak, beech, and pine, which create a dense canopy overhead. These towering giants provide shade and shelter for a variety of flora and fauna that call the plantation home. Moss-covered rocks and fallen logs add to the charm of the forest, creating a natural and untouched ambiance.

A network of well-maintained walking trails winds through the plantation, allowing visitors to explore the beauty of the woodland at their own pace.

The plantation is also home to a rich array of wildlife, including deer, squirrels, and numerous bird species. Nature enthusiasts can spot these creatures as they go about their daily routines, adding an element of excitement and discovery to any visit.

Fey Plantation offers a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, providing a serene environment for relaxation and contemplation.

Airriequhillart OS Mapping suggests this shot is taken from the forest with no clear picture in any direction. As is clear, the forest has been harvested and I'm standing on the top of the remains of a large tree on a rocky outcrop which was the best vantage point. The view here is north towards the B7005 with Airriequhillart Forest on the horizon.

The view here is south towards Gunion Hill and the Flow of Airriequhillart which has the oldest trees in the forest. Moving closer to the camera recently planted trees can be seen as well as very young saplings still protected from the elements and wildlife.
