About Countesswells Green Trail

This walks leads you from the car park along the forest road through tall majestic beech trees then it continues through more coniferous woodland. You'll skirt round a recently felled area that has been replanted with a variety of tree species.

This mixture of habitats provides shelter and food for many different kinds of woodland bird. Watch out for deer and red squirrels too.

If you only have an hour to spare and need to stretch your legs, this varied walk is well worth while.
