Auchenshuggle

Walk a mile through peaceful woodland in the East End

While it may be close to a motorway, this predominantly broadleaf woodland feels very tucked away as woodland birds fly between the trees. Auchenshuggle is a great place to visit in autumn as the leaves turn yellow, orange and gold. It’s ideal for a gentle stroll with the family, a walk with your dog or a picnic in the dappled shade beneath the trees.

The main path through the wood is about a mile long, and is wide, firm and fairly level – ideal for buggies.
