The
Millennium Wood is a small (one hectare) area of mixed woodland planted in 2000.
It is just 300 metres from the Glenholm Centre and you are free to explore its
many small paths. A clearing
with two picnic tables within the woods is a super spot for a picnic.
Our younger (and young at heart) visitors should look closely as you explore the woods and you might find a number of model animals hidden in the trees. If you buy a map from the Glenholm Centre and identify them all you could win a prize!
The Millennium Wood was
previously an area where sheep pens and an old sheep dip were situated. The dip
has since been dismantled but an iron crossbar used for hanging wool bags still
exists.
The
woodland was planted using a grant from the Government's
Small Woodland
Scheme. A variety of tree species exist within the woods including birch,
hawthorn, sycamore, Norwegian spruce and Scots pine.
