Forest bathing at Camperdown Country Park

Camperdown Country Park is a large estate on the north west edge of Dundee, named after the 1797 Battle of Camperdown, won by Admiral Adam Duncan. His son, the 1st Earl of Camperdown, built Camperdown House in the 1820s, and the forester David Taylor planted many of the woodlands and avenues. Over 100 tree species grow here, including oaks, elms, weeping ashes and beeches. The Camperdown elm, a weeping form of wych elm first recorded here in 1835, still grows in the park.

Park near Camperdown House; there is also a bus from Dundee. The lime avenue at the main entrance was planted after the Battle of Waterloo, and Her Ladyship's Walk is a pinetum of unusual evergreens, including Wellingtonia, monkey puzzle and cedar of Lebanon. The paths and tracks run through parkland and woodland and can be muddy at times. The open centre of the park is the busy part; the woodland walks around the edges are quieter, and link on to Templeton Woods and Clatto.
