Description:  Harrow Wood has two distinct areas: deciduous ancient semi-natural forest and more recent conifer woodland.  The division is a mature beech-lined bank runnng roughly east-west, to the north of which lie youngish spruce trees on more level open ground and to the south of which stand more mature broadleaves including oak, birch, beech, rowan and sycamore on the lower ground.  The central turning/camping clearing lies on the edge of both areas and receives lots of direct sunlight.  Some natural birch regeneration and mature larch and firs can also be found interspersed.  A cascading burn along the shared southern boundary offers further diversity of habitat and refreshing tranquility and is accessible at various points.  There are frequent sightings of Red deer browsing and red squirrels scurrying amongst the trees.

Access:   Access is via a hard stone private track leading off the A714 over which there is a shared legal all-purpose vehicular right of access, shown green on the plans. The track skirts around most of Harrow Wood's perimeter. 

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

Surrounding Area:  Harrow Wood is perched near the head of the Daljarrock Forest  in mixed woodland and rural hillside settings in the pretty River Stinchar valley.  There is a great variety of wildlife in the valley, including red squirrel, red deer, roe deer, otters, badgers and reptiles, and birds from blue tits to buzzards, plover to peregrine.  Many nearby walks and the tranquil unspoilt environment make the area perfect for nature and general outdoor enthusiasts.  A walk up Knockdolian Hill provides panoramic land and sea views and the new long-distance walking route - The Carrick Way - is scheduled to open very shortly.   The huge Galloway and Carrick Forests can be explored further to the East, and the coastal town of Girvan, and shingle beaches at Woodland and Ballantrae Bay, are within 10 miles to the West. Nearby Pinwherry and Barrhill villages have local services whilst Colmonell and Dailly have forestry mills/suppliers too.   Ayr, Stranraer and Newton Stewart are within 30 miles.

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.
