Hirsel Policies and Dunglass Woods

About Hirsel Policies and Dunglass Woods

This well signposted walk explores Dunglass Wood on the Hirsel Estate. The walk passes the front of The Hirsel itself, a magnificent country house and borders the Hirsel Lake, home to swans, ducks, geese and many other types of birdlife. There are shorter walks around the Hirsel’s grounds where you can keep to hard-surfaced paths. Other facilities on the estate include a visitor centre and museum, car-parking and a hide for bird-watching by the Hirsel Lake. The route is 5.5 miles/9 kms long and will take around 4 hours along woodland paths and tracks, grassy paths and some tarmac drives.
