Description

Craig Copse lies at the north corner of a larger gated forest in rolling countryside midway between Neilston and Newton Mearns, just west of Darnley Country Park.  Junction 4 of the M77 is just 2 miles away giving easy access from Ayrshire, Glasgow and the Central Belt.

The majority of the wood lies on near level ground with a slight northerly aspect. The entrance is marked by some tall elegant larch and Scots pine. These well-spaced mature stems shelter a variety of broadleaves of varying age from a thicket of young beech to a more lightly populated area of sycamore, birch and rowan within which there are a few open glades. The understory harbours holly, gorse, elder, broom and some regenerating saplings from the parent trees. Sunlight and brightness characterise this wood.

Access is excellent thanks to a newly built hard track which leads to a private parking spur on the east side of the wood. Much of the woodland floor is populated with soft grasses, pockets of bluebell and a healthy array of ferns through which a number of small paths meander making for good pedestrian access.

Roe deer frequent the area and you will also share the wood with badgers and foxes. With wide views over adjacent farmland, a good reserve of timber, privacy and vehicular access, Craig Copse is an attractive prospect. Very few woods under £20,000 offer so much.

If It Were Mine

There is certainly some silvicultural interest here, but above all I feel this is a property to enjoy - large enough to lose yourself in and small enough to manage. There’s plenty of fallen wood for the campfire and some management of ground vegetation in one of the open areas on the west side would provide a great locus for quiet recreation.

Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
