Adaira Wood is mainly comprised of a large section of sycamore and a large section of maturing conifer providing an abundance of firewood and some income as the conifer reaches maturity.

As with most woodlands, dusk and dawn is the time to catch wildlife when the human threat is at its lowest. Carefully situated trailcams will open up the secrets of the wood.

There is a small stream running across the southern boundary of the wood allowing handy access to water for both two legged and four legged creatures.

The access tracks have recently been maintained and renewed with on site stone and there is plenty of material for any future collective repairs to the shared track.

All sporting rights are sold with the woodland however mineral rights have been retained by the coal board as it was an old mining site. Due to the effects of burning fossil fuels, the likelihood of coal ever being extracted again is so low, as to be nigh on zero.

As is the case for all our woodlands, the purchaser will be asked to enter into a covenant which serves to protect the peace and quiet of the woodland.

This is a great little woodland just waiting for the right owner to come along, perfect for camping and for those looking for a slower way of spending their time.

Gateside Woodland sits directly next to the small ex-mining village of Standburn, with the closest town being Falkirk about 6 miles away.

Falkirk sits on the junction of the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals and as such became an important trade route and hub of heavy industry in the 18th and 19th centuries. The steel industry was dominant as was coal mining, necessary to feed the engine of industrialisation. The area is now more dependant on tourism and retail with many old mining sites reverting to woodland.

Nearby attractions include the Falkirk Wheel and The Helix , home of the famous Kelpie art installation.

Edinburgh is only twenty miles away and Glasgow 30 miles making these woods very accessible from the city.
