Gateside Woodland

Young, medium sided woodland planted on either side of the B825 just outside the town of Standburn heading towards Avonbridge. The south side and parking are closed at the time of writing this due to subsidence. The north side can still be walked but the paths haven't been maintained since the parking was closed.

The area contains some old bings left over from the mining which closed in the 1950s. If you look around the bings you'll find fossilised ferns. Within the planted woodland there's an ancient birch woodland which is home to a rook colony who often entertain with their murmurations at dusk and dawn.
