Caddam Wood lies to the north of the town and can be reached by following either East Hill Road, Mid Road or Windyghoul Road. This runs through the wood and is rough a nd muddy in places. You may prefer to follow the alternative path in the tree, which runs parallel to it.
The outer edge of the wood is mature beech trees, but areas in the centre have been harvested and replanted with more mixed woodland, which will take a few years to develop. The new planting is protected to allow the trees to get established, which means that the area for the public is restricted in places.
There are rides along the north and south edge of the wood, which are suitable for horses in good conditions. Walkers are asked to allow riders to pass safely on these routes. Riders please be aware that these tracks can become soft and are best avoided in wet weather. The road verges around the wood have been cleared so that you can use them as refuges from traffic.
Migvie Wood, or Kate's Wood as it is known locally, lies east of Northmuir and makes a pleasant detour between Caddam Wood and Kirrie Hill. Access to the wood has been upgraded and the wood itself has been replanted. There is a wide verge on east Hill Road, which is suitable for horses.
