Cairn Clump is a picturesque woodland located in the region of Fife, Scotland. Situated near the village of Pitlessie, this forested area covers an approximate area of 20 hectares. The woodland is primarily composed of a variety of deciduous trees, including oak, birch, and beech, creating a vibrant and colorful landscape throughout the year.

The name "Cairn Clump" is derived from the presence of a large cairn, a man-made pile of stones, located within the forest. This cairn is believed to have historical significance, possibly dating back to prehistoric times. It serves as a unique landmark and an intriguing element of the woodland's charm.

Cairn Clump offers a tranquil and serene environment for visitors to explore and enjoy. There are numerous well-maintained trails that meander through the forest, allowing hikers and nature enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the beauty of the surroundings. The forest floor is adorned with a carpet of wildflowers during the spring and summer months, adding bursts of color to the already breathtaking scenery.

The woodland is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, including deer, squirrels, and a variety of bird species. Birdwatchers will find delight in spotting species such as woodpeckers, thrushes, and finches amongst the treetops.

Cairn Clump is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as walking, jogging, and picnicking. Its proximity to Pitlessie village makes it easily accessible for both locals and visitors, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
