Callendar Wood

Historic woodland paths link with Callendar Park, its Roman-themed play area and a Natural Play trail. Families can combine woodland exploring with the park and Callendar House, which has exhibitions and a tea room.

Before you go

Black Hole Ride is blocked by fallen trees. Forestry operations are also advertised, so follow all safety signs and diversions. The easy Yew Trail has some rougher sections and long, moderate slopes. Summer activities such as pedalos are seasonal. Check for ticks after your visit and remove them promptly.
