Brade Wood is a richly diverse, L-shaped, broadleaf woodland nestling on the south bank of the River Ayr which includes a 60m stretch of riverbank. The land rises gently upwards from the river and above the track. There are flatter broader areas for parking and occasional camping just off, and either side of, the track running through the middle of the wood. Formerly part of the Gadgirth Estate, the land has been worked and tended in previous years creating a mature woodland habitat where beech, elm, willow, oak, hazel and ash trees are predominant. Located in rural surroundings, there are fields to the south and north, and woodland to the east and west of Brade Wood. The picturesque Enterkine Viaduct and the first ‘source to sea’ walking route in Scotland, the River Ayr Way, are close by. 

Access:  There are full rights of access over a shared track leading off the B742 through adjoining woods to the entrance of Brade Wood, and also over the included section of track, in favour of neighbouring Gadbank Wood to the east.

Fishing and sporting rights:  The fishing rights to the river Ayr are excluded for salmon and sea trout but are included for all other species of fish. However there is the opportunity of  joining Ayr River Angling Club AYRAC who have access to the river bank and own the salmon and sea trout rights, to fish for these.  There are areas of riverbank suitable for launching small boats or canoes to add to the enjoyment of the woodland.

Mineral Rights:  These are owned and included with the land except where reserved by statute.

The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.
