Gadbank Wood is a beautiful, small, broadleaf woodland situated on the south bank of the River Ayr which includes a 160m stretch of riverbank. Formerly part of the Gadgirth Estate, the land has been worked and tended over the years creating a mature woodland habitat where beech, elm, willow, oak and ash trees are predominant. The land rises gently up in most parts from the river, and there are flatter areas for parking and overnight camping reached by a track running through the middle of the wood. Located in rural surroundings, there are fields to the south and north, and woodland to the east and west of Gadbank Wood. The picturesque Enterkine Viaduct and the first ‘source to sea’ walking route in Scotland, the River Ayr Way, are close by. The villages of Annbank and Mossblown are within 5 miles and the coastal town of Ayr is within 10 miles.

Access:  There are full rights of access over a shared track leading off the B742 through adjoining woods to the entrance of Gadbank Wood.

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.
