Blackfold Wood is a pristine forest located in Nairnshire, a historic county in the northeast of Scotland. Spanning approximately 200 acres, this enchanting woodland boasts a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and hikers alike.

The wood is predominantly composed of native deciduous trees, including oak, birch, and rowan, which create a lush and vibrant canopy during the summer months. The forest floor is adorned with a rich carpet of bluebells, wildflowers, and ferns, providing a picturesque setting for leisurely strolls or picnics.

Tranquility reigns supreme in Blackfold Wood, as the dense foliage acts as a natural sound barrier, muffling the noise of the outside world. This makes it an ideal location for birdwatchers, who can spot a variety of avian species such as woodpeckers, thrushes, and owls.

Blackfold Wood is also home to a diverse array of wildlife. Deer can often be spotted grazing among the trees, while squirrels scamper playfully from branch to branch. The occasional fox or badger may also make an appearance, completing the woodland experience.
