Glen Affric
Glen Affric is one of Britain’s largest and richest areas of native woodland. The trees are species that grow naturally, rather than being introduced by us. It’s also “ancient woodland” as the trees have covered this land since they first took root in the meagre soil after the last Ice Age, about 10,000 years ago.
Glen Affric is one of the most beautiful places in Scotland. It’s a classic landscape of perfectly-placed lochs, mountains and a wonderful mix of pine, birch and oak trees.
The woodland is one of the best examples of the Caledonian Forest that once covered much of Scotland. The rich environment is an important haven for wildlife, so the whole glen is protected as a National Nature Reserve.
