The Netherhall private residential estate owners (title holders) collectively own large areas of common garden land. Around 2.5acre of this common garden land has been allowed to grow wild and referred to by the owners as 'the woodland'. This section of common garden land being created in the 90's by Barratts of Scotland when the development moved from a solely owned estate to a residential estate.
It is there for all owners to share and enjoy.
Entirely at their own risk, many members of the public use our site as it has open access to the West by way of our private footpath, and to the East through a stob and wire boundry fence. The tracks people have erroded through time by transiting our site, lead into the neighbouring area of Noddsdale. The owners thereof own the remaining section of wooded common garden land East of the avenue.
A lot of people are genuinely unaware that this area of Netherhall private residential estate is not public property and is indeed a private asset for the owners enjoyment.
The general public are also unaware, that it is the pocket of every person who lives on the estate that finances any required actions to maintain this footprint.
There are no plans to restrict public access to our wooded garden land, and public users should refresh themselves with the principles of the outdoor code for Scotland, as this applies within the footprint.
To help us protect our woodland and to help others enjoy this unique space, we need a little help from you along the way.
- Please take your litter with you. There are a variety of public bins within 200meters of every entrance.
- Dispose of your dog mess in bags and remove from our woodland. Filled dog mess bags left in our woods is litter. Nobody is cleaning up after you. it will just sit there, polluting the environment. There are dog mess bins with 200meters from each entrance.
- Respect the woodland. Take pictures, make memories and leave nothing but foot prints.
