Why it's Wildland

5.8

A 31.53-hectare mixed broadleaf wood with open ground and scattered conifers on higher ground, set above wide views towards Loch Leven, the Firth of Forth and the surrounding countryside.

Kilmagad Wood earns its place through the combination of mixed woodland, higher open ground and far-reaching views. It is a more rewarding outing than a simple woodland stroll, though the available sources do not establish a specific circuit or facilities.
