Meet in the Car Park at Crofthead for car sharing or make your own way to Carriden Woods
Carriden Woods offers an interesting mix of history and wildlife.
There is an old Ice House hidden in the woods; a ruined cottage which was the birth place of soldier Colonel James Gardiner who was killed in action in 1745 at the Battle of Prestonpans (the first signifiant conflict in the second Jacobite Rising); and the nearby Carriden House - please be aware that this is a private home so you should stick to the promoted paths and stay out of the private garden. There is aslo the Old Manse Wood and Carriden churches.
