Calder Wood

Highlight • Trail

Calder Wood is a large area of ancient woodland that has been part of an estate or managed by the Forestry Commission for hundreds of years. There is evidence of Oak trees being felled here for ship building in the 1500's but the forest has never been clear cut. Today it's home to a wide variety of species of plants and animals. It's a SSSI for the habitat and wonderful to walk around. It's part of the Almondell and Calderwood Country Park.
