A small section of semi-native broadleaved woodland

Glasteinan Woodland is our best kept secret.

Nestled behind the Beechwood Parc housing estate, the Glasteinan Woodland is a small section of semi-native broadleaved woodland.

The woodland is a haven for wildlife, including many mammals, birds, invertebrates, and a host of wildflowers.

There is a footpath running parallel to the River, and a circular footpath around the top of the woodland.

Four-legged friends can also enjoy a stroll through the woodland, though we ask that dogs are kept on leads.
