Glenhapple Wood, located in Wigtownshire, Scotland, is a picturesque forest that covers an area of approximately 200 acres. The wood is nestled in a secluded valley, surrounded by rolling hills and stunning countryside views. It is a popular destination for nature lovers, hikers, and birdwatchers due to its diverse wildlife and tranquil atmosphere.

The wood itself is predominantly made up of native tree species such as oak, ash, and birch, which create a dense canopy overhead, providing shade and shelter for a variety of flora and fauna. The forest floor is blanketed with a rich carpet of mosses, ferns, and wildflowers, adding to the enchanting ambiance of Glenhapple Wood.

Visitors to the wood can explore a network of well-maintained paths and trails, allowing for leisurely walks or more challenging hikes. Along these paths, one can stumble upon babbling brooks, small waterfalls, and even a picturesque pond, adding to the natural beauty of the area. The wood is also home to a number of bird species, including woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds, making it a haven for birdwatchers.

Glenhapple Wood offers a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It provides an opportunity to connect with nature, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the beauty of Scotland's natural landscapes.

Wood of Cree The estate is being carefully managed by the RSPB in an effort to restore the woodland to its 'natural' state. Coppiced birch and oak are gradually being thinned and dead timber is being left to rot. The reserve is famous for its summer populations of Pied Flycatcher, Redstart and Wood Warbler, but the waterfalls are worth the trip at any time of year.
