Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it is a diverse and thriving forest that offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The moss is situated near the village of Kingsford, about 10 miles west of Aberdeen.

The woodland is predominantly composed of native Scottish trees, including oak, birch, and pine. The lush vegetation creates a rich and varied habitat for wildlife, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.
