Visiting the Bee Academy or Apiary?
Why not take some time out to explore Lord Ancrum's Wood.
A wonderful ancient woodland on the doorstep of the Bee Academy and Teaching Apiary.
The paths along the river South Esk and through the woodland are a real breath of fresh air!
The gravel paths are wide mostly flat, with some gentle slopes. Cross the river by the award-winning wooden bridge at the Ice House. Turn to the left and follow the wide and mostly flat gravel path as far as the 15th century bridge, cross and return through the woodland to the Abbey grounds. Look out for the giant Redwood found hiding in the woods.
