Two gentle trails through young woodland and meadows

Sibster is a new broadleaf woodland on the site of an old Caithness farm – and one of the few forests you can actually get to by train.

You'll see traditional slab fences and drystone dykes, as well as brightly-coloured wildflowers amongst the young growing trees. There are gentle trails and wide open views across the vast Caithness landscape whatever time of year you visit. Come back again and again and follow the forest taking shape.
