Stroll through two attractive woodlands while you are walking in the Threepwood Farm and Burn Anne area.


Burnhouse Brae and Bank Woods straddle the Burn Anne on the south side of Galston and link from the Burnhouse Bridge on the Sorn road through to the Burn Anne Bridge and the minor road on the edge of Threepwood Farm. A footbridge over the burn in Bank Wood offers alternative routes to the road.

These ancient woodlands - in existence for over 250 years - are now dominated by sycamore trees. Maybe you can spot the 14 other species of trees and shrubs and attempt to guess some of the 70 species of plants nestling within the woods.

Once the site of a lime stone quarry, the burn water was also used to power a mill to the south of Burnhouse Bridge using an extensive lade to route the flow of water to the mill.
