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.
