About Holmesyke reedbeds
Surfaced paths start on East Forth Road (known locally as the Mill Dykes Road). Start your walk around the reedbed from one of these entrances.
The surfaced paths round the reedbed are recommended for walking, cycling and horse riding.
You can also take a longer walk from here on grass paths in the woodland.
This award-winning reedbed was built by the Coal Authority. Check out the information panels on site.
