About this wood

Keil's Den is a long narrow wooded glen set in an agricultural landscape. The wood is located on the steep slopes of both the west and east banks of the Keil Burn as it runs almost directly north-south. The main entrance to Keil's Den lays 0.5.km north of Lower Largo and the main A915. Both banks of the burn slope very steeply for the majority of their length, although the site includes some flat land on the top of the slopes and low lying floodplain where this exists. The southern end of the burn is at a height of approximately 30m above sea level, rising to a height of over 70m a.s.l. on the banks in the north of the wood. The OS grid reference for the main entrance, which lies in the south-east of the woodland is NO 413 038.
