Woodland - Castlehill Estate

Castlehill Estate | Castlehill Historic | Castlehill Wildlife

Much of the beauty of Castlehill Estate is gained from majestic mature trees. On first inspection you may think that there is only Beech, Sycamore and the odd Holly and Horse Chestnut. Look further and you will find a mature Tulip Tree, Red Horse Chestnut and Spanish Chestnut.

The highest area of the Estate is covered in a beautiful Beech stand, which in spring time, when the leaves just start to emerge, the sunlight shining through them gives the area a magical quality.

Castlehill came into local authority ownership fairly recently and there is still more work required to ensure the future of the woodland in terms of thinning and replanting.
