The amenity woodland is located within the pretty coastal village of Kippford within the Stewartry area of Dumfries & Galloway. The woodland is situated at the rear of the Anchor Hotel where pedestrian access is taken. From the most elevated points of the site spectacular views are afforded over the Solway Coast and beyond. The woodland may appeal to those who have an interest in biodiversity or to those who are looking for a peaceful retreat.

Planning applications have been made in the past for the erection of three dwellinghouses, which have been refused. Contained within that application are details of how vehicular access could be created via a forest track at the top of the site, which is within the boundary of the registered title. The refusal document can be downloaded from our website or you are able to view the full planning application via Dumfries & Galloway Council’s website using the planning reference: 16/1011/PIP should any interested party wish to pursue this further.
