Blairadam Forest
 

The estate of Blair Crambeth was bought by the Scottish architect Sir William Adam in 1733. After building Blairadam House he added neighbouring estates to his land. In common with other landowners across Scotland at this time, he began to plant trees to create an attractive landscape and to produce commercial timber.Most of this forest was felled during World War 1. The Forestry Commission replanted the Forest primarily with conifers such as Sitka spruce and Norway spruce. Whilst still producing commercial timber, Blairadam Forest also has large network of paths and roads to explore. The cycle routes within the Forest form a part of the Kingdom of Fife Cycleway.

How to get there:

Kelty, Cowdenbeath, and Dunfermline are the nearest towns or villages.
