Denlethen Wood
The local community help Forestry Commission Scotland to manage this small wood through the Friends of Denlethen group. A number of seats and new bridges have been placed in the wood to allow you to enjoy your walk better. Clearings have been cut to show views of the surrounding area.

Denlethen Wood lies immediatley to the south west of Laurencekirk, just off the A90. You can walk into the wood from Laurencekirk itself, either along the old road which leads off the A937 and across the bridge over the railway line, or along the B9120 and down the farm track.
There is limited parking available at the wood, by following the old road which leads off the A937 then turning right immediately after the railway bridge and driving a short way down the track to reach the forest road. Please keep the barriers clear for emergencey access.
