Following the wildfire, Glenmore Forest Park is now open. However, some areas, trails and car parks remain closed while we work to make them safe. 

During your visit pay attention to local signage and to our staff. Check local updates on our forest web pages before visiting.

Black Burn Trail

A gentle wander through open pinewoods to the Black Burn. Plenty of places to rest and picnic.

Wind your way through open sweet-scented pinewoods, crossing two bridges over the Black Burn. Let the stresses of the day trickle away as you rest beside its gently flowing, treacle-dark waters. There’s a lovely spot for a picnic beside the second bridge – which is a great place to play Poohsticks too!

The Fieldfare Trust has a Phototrail showing details of this route.

The trail starts across the road from the car park – take care crossing the road. Follow the white waymarkers.

1 ¼ miles / 1.9 km

Allow ¾ hour
