Situated just 15 minutes' drive from Dundee city centre and just off the Coupar Angus Road (A923) before Birkhill.
There are a surprising number of permanent residents in the woods, who you may be lucky enough to spot.
These include roe deer that graze the forest and are most easily spotted at dawn and dusk. Buzzards nest in the woods and can often be heard calling to their mates as they soar above the tree tops.
Jays are the beautifully coloured members of the crow family, whose harsh screech can often be heard in the car park. Keep your eyes peeled though, as they are very secretive birds.
Red squirrels are found throughout the wood, making Dundee one of the few cities in Britain to be a home to these cute tree-dwelling mammals. They can be seen scampering around and jumping through the trees in search of food.

We absolutely love this walk. There are several different routes you can talk from walking trails to bike trails. There’s loads of space and the visitors centre has lots of information. Its lovely seeing all the wildlife going about!
