Crimond Wood is a young, developing, mixed woodland with scope for further nurturing. There is a rich abundance of flora and fauna changing throughout the seasons and a variety of birds inhabiting and visiting the area on their migratory trails. Planted conifers and young oak, cherry and regenerating birch trees mix with grassy glades and heather clearings. Grander broadleaves including beech, oak and rowan stand as historical guardians along the southern boundary. The gentle rising slope provides good surrounding rural views.

Access is taken off the B977 and along a shared private track to a locked gate over and through which there is a right of way. 20 metres along the track inside the shared gate and along the northern boundary, there is a private gate entrance for Crimond Wood on the right. The grass-covered track leads up into the woodland, off which there are some nature trails leading to hidden glades and clearings.

Sporting rights are included.

Surrounding Area:  Crimond Wood is part of a long-established woodland known as Forrester Seat Woods some of which is on the Ancient Woodland Inventory.

The southern boundary is inside at the foot of the old stone dyke wall with the indicative markings on the fence posts running a few metres inside and parallel to the wall.
