The Boase Wood – The St Andrews Preservation Trust

The Boase Wood

What is the Boase Wood?

The wood was bequeathed to the Trust by Philip Boase, and is currently tended by just two people. It’s 1.325 acres of native trees, bluebells and snowdrops and stretches. Our mandate is to preserve this beautiful slice of nature for future visitors, so come and take a look, no entry fee required!

 

How to get there

The wood stretches from the Kinness Burn to Hepburn Gardens. Head to the area highlighted in blue and take a stroll in nature.
