Exact Location, viewing Instructions and further details can be found in our brochure below.An attractive and diverse maturing broadleaf woodland benefitting from direct public road access.Rawes Wood is situated in the Carse of Gowrie on the north side of the River Tay. The village of Longforgan is a mile to the north, as is the A90 which gives ready access to Dundee (5 miles to the east) and Perth (15 miles to the west).Rawes Wood and the surrounding arable fields lie on level ground, and thus there are wide views to the hills on either side of the Tay both to north and south.The wood was planted under a Woodland Grant Scheme in 2003/04 and thanks to the fertility of the site it is now well established, with the trees forming a continuous overhead canopy and the stems swelling nicely. The principal species is oak, but a healthy spread of other species makes this a robust wood in the face of climate change and tree pests. The mix includes lime, birch, alder, ash and rowan, plus a variety of woody shrubs and the occasional Scots pine for winter colour.The maturing woodland habitat is increasingly a refuge for birds and animals alike. Roe deer, hares and woodland songsters were all in evidence when we visited. With direct access off a minor country road and a generous acreage, this developing wood offers great potential to the incoming owner.Rawes is a remarkably quiet and secluded wood, yet Dundee city centre is only a little over 5 miles away, making this the ideal bolthole from city life.Our Forester'sThoughtsAlastair says..."The young trees have established well and would benefit from a light thinning over the next few years. High pruning some of the retained stems would enhance tree form and long-term value. There are also some redundant tree guards on site which I’d remove and recycle.Rawes would make an excellent woodland for family recreation and enjoyment."Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
