Dunoon's Forests

Windows o'er the watter

Rolling forests rise above the seaside town of Dunoon, capping the hilltops in dark green.

This is not dense, dull woodland, but a forest with trees of many ages and species, with animals, birds and plants thriving among them.

Many visitors (and locals) miss out on exploring Dunoon’s forests, preferring to go to more heavily-visited sites further west and north. But if you’re looking for a different forest experience with plenty of room to breathe, this is the place – and the space! – for you.
