Frequently Asked Questions
When is Penney’s Wood open?
The woodland is open to the public every day from dawn until dusk. As a natural space, we do not have lighting, so we recommend visiting during daylight hours.
Is the woodland accessible for wheelchairs?
We strive to keep main paths accessible where possible. However, as a community woodland, some trails may be uneven or muddy, especially during the wetter Scottish months.
Are dogs welcome in the woods?
Yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome. We ask that you keep them on leads during nesting season and always clear up after them to protect the local ecosystem.
Are there toilets or cafe facilities?
Penney’s Wood is a wild, community-led space. There are no on-site toilets or cafes, so please bring your own water and ensure all rubbish is taken home.
Can we organize a group visit?
We love hosting school trips and community groups! Please get in touch via email below to coordinate your visit and avoid overlap with volunteer events.
