It is located a short distance northwest of where the River Tay and River Tummel merge at Balmacneil and around 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Pitlochry. The wood merges into Clunie Wood to the northwest and Logierait Wood to the southeast. Ballechin House formerly stood in the forest, accessed from the A827 Ballinluig-to-Grandtully road.
