Tyndrum Community Woodlands

Tyndrum Community Woodlands is c94ha of mixed native woodland, downy birch, scots pine, willow amongst others, with areas of bog land, rough grazing and some extant areas of old spruce plantation. We have several paths (see the map below), from forestry track and tarmacked cycle path to mown grass paths along the riverside. There are a number of picnic areas and benches dotted across the woods, so you can enjoy the tranquility and our glorious views.

Our Community Shelterbelt, located at the edge of Tyndrum Village, contains our small Gruffalo Trail and Forest Classroom. 

A downloadable map and leaflet of the Woodland is available here so you can plan your visit.

Our woodlands are currently managed by our Community Woodland Officer, Llinos Proctor, and a small, enthusiastic group of local volunteers. If you would like to get involved in the woodlands or find out what we are doing, then please drop Llinos an email at llinos@strathfillancdt.org.uk

Crianlarich Community Woodlands

Crianlarich Community Woodland is c5ha of mixed native trees, including Scots Pine, birch and willow. The Trust leases the woodland from Forest and Land Scotland, and manages it for recreation and conservation.

In 2016/2017 we secured funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund for the Heritage Paths Project, which included upgrading and developing new paths across the woodland, as well as providing a viewpoint and new interpretation and signage. It is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.

As with Tyndrum Community Woodland, this woodland is managed by a small group of volunteers. The woodland would also benefit from the Woodland Officer we hope to commission.
