Garden Wood is a picturesque forest located in the region of Fife, Scotland. It covers an area of approximately 100 acres and is a haven for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers. The wood is a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem.

Garden Wood is characterized by its dense canopy, which provides a cool and peaceful atmosphere for visitors to explore. The forest floor is covered in a thick layer of moss, creating a soft and cushioned path for walking. The wood is intersected by a network of well-maintained trails, making it easy for visitors to navigate and discover the various treasures within.

One of the highlights of Garden Wood is its rich wildlife. It is home to a variety of bird species, including woodpeckers, owls, and songbirds, making it a popular spot for birdwatching. Visitors may also spot small mammals like squirrels and rabbits, as well as the occasional deer roaming through the trees.

The wood also boasts a small pond, which attracts a range of aquatic life, including ducks and frogs. Additionally, there are several picnic areas scattered throughout the wood, providing a perfect spot for visitors to relax and enjoy a meal amidst the tranquil surroundings.

Garden Wood offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing visitors to reconnect with nature and enjoy the beauty of the Scottish countryside. It is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a serene and enchanting forest experience.

Kirkcaldy : Templehall Millennium Park A new community park created by the efforts of the local community. On the site of Kirkcaldy High School part of the site was sold off for housing. The park includes a wildlife garden, a fruit garden (the trees in the picture are apple) and a play area with climbing structure.

Kirkcaldy, Smeaton, Cedar Avenue Smeaton is a housing scheme in North Kirkcaldy. Smeaton is a deprived neighbour and is quite high in the Scottish Executive Multiple Index of Deprivation. The streets are all named after trees, sadly no Cedars are growing on this street. Since the photo was taken work has been done to the roundabout. NT2893 also contains part of Dunnikier Park, Pannie Den Wood parts of Overton too.

Kirkcaldy : Dunnikier Park : Garden Wood: after woodland management NT27954 covers the eastern part of Dunnikier Housing Estate and Dunnikier Park. This photograph was taken after felling. Text book woodland management was carried out here in Winter 2001. The rhododendrons were removed and sycamores too. Unfortunately it looks a bit devastated now but there is major regeneration of the woodland, and non native invasive species such as those mentioned have been removed, giving a chance for natives to come back.
