Tarrel Woodland Estate is a 60 acre Noble Fir plantation located on the Moray Firth, around 40 miles from Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland.  We are within easy access of the A9 and main railway links.  Inverness airport is less than an hour away.

Our 50,000 Noble Fir trees yield around 80 tonnes of high quality foliage each year.  During the year, while they are quietly producing their lovely foliage, the trees provide a fantastic backdrop for a range of outdoor activities, including leadership training, team-development, bushcraft and rustic camping.

We aim to run the plantation with minimum impact on the eco-system that has become established since the trees were planted.  As they grow, our trees soak up over 200 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year.  *

Noble Fir Foliage

Tarrel Woodland Estate produces high quality noble fir boughs for the floristry and festive decoration industries.  The noble fir, famed for its blue-green colour and non-drop needle characteristics, is highly sought-after.  We currently supply to customers both in the UK and Europe.  We can supply wholesale quantities from 100 kg up to 15 tonnes.

Christmas Wreaths

Coming for 2010 season; plain or decorated Noble Fir wreaths, supplied direct to garden centres, florists and gift shops.  Watch this space, or contact us for more information.

Large Christmas Trees

We also have a crop of large Nordman Fir trees, ranging from 2m to 6m in height (6 - 20 feet).  These luxury Christmas trees are of the non-drop variety and are ideal for hotels, public buildings, corporate reception areas and town centres.  They are competitively priced and we can deliver within the Highland region.  Contact us for more information.

Leadership and Team Development

The noble fir plantation is owned by Mark Janes Learning Solutions, a specialist provider of sales, management and leadership training.  The estate's location, on the coast and within easy access to transport links and commercial centres, makes it ideal for use as an outdoor "retreat" for small groups looking to work on their leadership and team-building skills.  The facility is easily reached by firms based in the Inverness and Aberdeen areas, or any Highland location.  In fact, being less than one hour from Inverness Airport, we offer an unusual location for companies nationwide.

Let us design a complete team-building or leadership training event for you, or use our site as part of your own event.

Rustic Camping

For those seeking a real wilderness experience and total seclusion, we are able to offer a select number of bush camping weeks during the Spring and Summer.  The camp is accessible from our gate on foot or by four wheel drive.  By prior arrangement we can transport you to the camping area from the gate, where you can leave your car.  This is a totally different camping experience. 

You will practically have the whole 60 acre estate to yourselves (apart from very occasional walkers and the odd visit by us).  The shore of the Moray Firth is adjacent to the estate with the possibility of dolphin, whale and seal sightings.  Roe Deer, Foxes, Hares, Rabbits, Pheasants and Woodcock are all present on the estate, and Peregrine Falcons nest in the cliffs below the woods.
