There are a variety of paths on offer for visitors so you can really explore this wonderful woodland. Part of the woodland of Brodick Castle Wood is owned and managed by the National Trust for Scotland.
Brodick Castle Wood is situated at the rear of Brodrick Castle.  The name Brodick comes from the Norse words, meaning 'broad bay'. Arran means 'peaked island' in Gaelic.
