Come walkabout at Glensaugh Research Station

Glensaugh has been providing facilities for agricultural and land research since 1943. You are welcome to visit the Farm following the launch of a self-guided trail which leads you on a circular tour of the farm, pointing out areas of particular geographic, social, landscape and historical changes.

In addition to the 'come walkabout' trail, a self-guided agroforestry trail is available which introduces the integrated sheep grazing and woodland (silvopastoral) system that is managed at Glensaugh. Using this site we aim to share some practical tips, and the potential benefits associated with this type of land management system.
