St Ronan’s Woodland

Although this is a short circular there are climbs in the wood but these are well worth it for the views.

This woodland is managed by The Woodland Trust who were established in 1972. there is much fungi and bird life to enjoy – as well as the trees themselves.

1. From the car park at Victoria Park, go through Victoria Park following the path along the side of the tennis courts. Continue along the path at the other side until you meet the Strip, turn left up this path, cross St Ronan’s Way and St Ronan’s Terrace and enter St Ronan’s Woodland at the top!

2. Turn right along the back of the gardens to follow the path to the north end of the woodland. Turn left at the end and follow the path heading south, with the dyke on your left.

3. When you hit the main track turn left and follow back down to St Ronan’s Terrace. Turn left (onto the spur of St Ronan’s Terrace) and then right onto Hall Street to your starting point.

4. OR: Cross over the track and follow the path south for about 350m (contouring the hill), on grass, round the front of the mast. The views down the Tweed Valley from here are breathtaking. At a bench turn right and pass the mast on the uphill side before joining the main track. At a sharp bend turn right onto the track and return to the start as per point 3 above.
