One of the more open areas of the woodland in Killearn Glen. The trees were originally planted in the 18th century as part of a pleasure garden and woodland for the nearby Place of Killearn - once the most important house in the village, built in 1688. It fell into disrepair in the first half of the 19th century and was later demolished. Oaks, yews and Scots pines are amongst the species planted.
