Hedderwick Hill Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in East Lothian, Scotland. Covering an area of approximately 100 hectares, the plantation is known for its diverse range of tree species and stunning natural beauty. It lies just south of the village of East Linton and is easily accessible from the nearby A1 road.

The woodland at Hedderwick Hill is primarily composed of mixed broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, birch, and ash. These trees create a rich and varied habitat, supporting a wide array of wildlife. Visitors to the plantation can expect to see an abundance of bird species, including woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds. The forest floor is also home to an assortment of woodland plants, such as bluebells and wild garlic, which create a colorful carpet during the spring months.

There are several well-maintained walking trails throughout the plantation, allowing visitors to explore the woodland at their own pace. These paths provide stunning views of the surrounding countryside, and on clear days, it is even possible to catch a glimpse of the nearby Lammermuir Hills.

Hedderwick Hill Plantation offers a tranquil and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether you are a nature enthusiast, a keen photographer, or simply looking for a peaceful stroll, this woodland gem in East Lothian is sure to captivate and inspire.

Coastal East Lothian : Spike Island Sands Spike Island Sands is not an "official" name found on the map.

I use the name to distinguish the tidal sands that are a continuation northwards of the tip of Spike Island, from Tyne Sands; which are on the western side of the River Tyne at this location.
