The Bell Wood lies to the east of the village of Aboyne and is a mixed conifer (predominantly Norway Spruce and Scots Pine) woodland. The wood is bounded by a combination of the Tarland Burn, the Old Deeside Road, World Horse Welfare property and the Bellwood Housing Estate. The wood has a network of paths and is enjoyed by pedestrians, cyclists and those on horseback.

The woodland covers an area of approximately 110 hectares and is the subject of an approved forest plan. From time to time forestry operations take place and suitable warning notices are displayed, when this occurs a copy of the signage present in the wood is enclosed.

As well as the Forest Plans you can also view the Bellwood McPhillimy Report in our office.

The Bell Wood is owned by Mid Deeside Community Trust for and on behalf of the people of Aboyne.
