Drumjin Wood is a serene and enchanting forest located in Wigtownshire, Scotland. Situated just a few miles northwest of the picturesque village of Wigtown, this woodland area covers an extensive area of approximately 500 acres. Known for its natural beauty and rich biodiversity, Drumjin Wood has become a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The wood is primarily composed of native Scots pines, with their tall and majestic trunks reaching towards the sky. These ancient trees provide a dense canopy that filters sunlight, creating a dappled effect on the forest floor. Beneath this canopy, a diverse range of flora thrives, including wildflowers, ferns, and mosses, adding bursts of color and texture to the landscape.

Drumjin Wood is home to an array of wildlife, offering a sanctuary for a variety of species. Bird enthusiasts will delight in the abundance of feathered creatures, such as woodpeckers, owls, and finches, filling the air with their melodious songs. Squirrels playfully scurry up and down the trees, while elusive deer can occasionally be spotted grazing in the more secluded areas of the wood.

The forest boasts several well-maintained trails that wind their way through the woodland, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their own pace. These paths offer glimpses of babbling brooks, tranquil ponds, and hidden clearings that invite moments of reflection and tranquility.

Whether for a leisurely stroll, birdwatching, or simply immersing oneself in nature's embrace, Drumjin Wood provides a captivating experience for all who venture into its enchanting realm.

Old bridge abutment on the A75 Looking east. The bridge formerly carried the Dumfries to Stranraer railway (closed in the 1960s) over the A75. The main road performed a sharp double bend under the bridge, but has now been realigned. (The road in the foreground is just a farm road serving Benfield Farm)
