Beautiful and wood. A small with a footpath around it. A small number of wild ducks. A goose too when I visited A nice Duck just off of the main road. Tables and benches for sitting. Waste bins. Information boards on how to feed the wildfowl. A large wood for dog walking. It can be a but muddy at the far end. It would be 5 stars if it wasn't for the too numerous dog turds scattered round a lovely pond, surrounded by mature pines and some larch, spruce and beech. And strangely, no-one is responsible for them - all the dog owners insist they clear up faeces and dispose of it in the bins provided. Must be mystery feral dogs with no owners that spoil the for everyone, including very young children that enjoy feeding the and geese. I went yesterday and the goslings are quite big now, but when the sun shines on the water it is a lovely place to sit and watch the waterfowl. Various benches and a couple of tables are provided. There are numerous paths going into the woods surrounding the - but as other reviews mention those can suffer from a fair bit of mud and fallen trees in places. You can get from the to the dilapidated Braidwood house if you use a map or GPS. Nothing much to see there as it's ruined, but there is a rather touching pet cemetery under a large chestnut tree near the house. The makes a nice visit any time of year - I added some more pictures - the last three, taken in autumn 2024. It's also a lovely short winter after snow - see the first 3 pictures. Allow 20 minutes to half an hour - longer if exploring the surrounding paths through the woodlands. NOTE: The little path around the was upgraded a bit in 2023 with more wood chips at the north side. Nice wee place to sit or round. Great place to feed the Very quite and well kept parking right on the side lots of benches and a great place for a there is in the Great little place for a peaceful - or just to sit and watch the ..... or seagulls!!! Just a wee in Braidwood, but quiet and relaxing, not usually a busy place (that said, it's not a "ghost town pond" either). Usually, there's loads of ducks, I caught them crossing the road - could do with a better picture (but why do cross the road?) As a dog walker finding this place is a godsend. It's so big and so many places to explore. Lots of gorgeous Very well maintained wee area, couple of tables/benches around the It's just a small surrounded by woodland. Lots of foot paths through the woods but can be pretty muddy/boggy at times. Almost always there so don't forget to take some some food. My 3 year old loves it there! Once in awhile its nice to see some geese and for a change ❤️ Lovely and surrounding woods to your dog out just take time out. Nothing strenuous but can be muddy in places after heavy rain. Been left to over grow dont know if it been deliberate or just laziness or forgetfulness. But my dogs loved it so that all that matters A great place to sit and think Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
