Formonthills Community Woodland Circular

Description

This is a short woodland stroll through the woodlands bordering the nearby community, and it is managed by the Woodland Trust. This is a young woodland and all the trees are native to Fife and include oak, ash, birch, cherry and Scots pine. During the spring and summer there are also blankets of wild flowers for visitors to enjoy. There is a large car park with no designated bays and the most accessible route is accessed by going out of the car park via the entrance and the start of the walk in on your left. The paths around the walk are varied and range from very narrow and muddy to wide and compacted. There are a few gradients with the maximum being 23% (1:4) for a short section, and there are a number of areas that have a cross gradient. The access route back to the car park is via the approach road to the car park and it has 11 speed bumps and gradients both linear and cross. There are no resting points, and the path is shared with horse riders and cyclists.
