Why it's Wildland

5.2

Three easy woodland trails wind among mature trees and circle a small loch, creating a calm green retreat in the grounds of Forth Valley Royal Hospital.

Larbert Woods offers an unusually gentle woodland escape, with three easy trails linking mature trees and a loch where visitors may spot roe deer, squirrels, dragonflies and frogs. Its appeal is quiet nature close to the hospital, rather than a major wilderness destination.
