Venue Description

Situated on the lower slopes of the Lomond Hills, Formonthills sits in a commanding position overlooking the north-western edge of Glenrothes in Fife. Despite being a young woodland, Formonthills already has much to offer. Eighty thousand trees have been planted with the help of the local community, including oak, cherry, ash, birch and Scots pine. Visit the woods to experience meadows filled with wild flowers, wetland areas, spectacular views and a range of wildlife.

Accessibility

Formonthills backs directly onto residential streets in Glenrothes and has more than 20 entrances. There are over 9.6km (6 miles) of paths forming a strategic network which links the communities adjoining the woodland as well as providing a network of routes through new and existing woodland. These routes are suited to a variety of users and are on mostly level ground or shallow slopes, without steps. Some routes are surfaced whereas others are unsurfaced and may be muddy in places. A variety of circular routes of different lengths are possible, with excellent views from many parts of the site. The path network links into external paths through Coul Den Local Nature Reserve and into the Lomond Hills Regional Park.
