Woodhall is on a north facing slope, overlooking the River Clyde and is bounded on the north by the River Clyde, on the south by Parkhill Avenue, on the west by Port Glasgow cemetery and on the east by what is now the Castlebank housing estate which is on the site of the former Broadfield Hospital.
Woodhall Terrace consisted of fine red sandstone tenements along the south side of the A8 Glasgow Road.
Dino's Italian Cafe and shop stood in the square and was popular with day-trippers heading for the bus to Gourock or those going by foot to picnic at nearby Parklea on the banks of the Clyde.
Plans by River Clyde Homes to build new houses on Parkhill Avenue were reported by local newspaper The Greenock Telegraph on 29 January 2009.
The area is served by Woodhall railway station on the Inverclyde Line which has regular services to and from Glasgow Central and Gourock, and also Wemyss Bay during early mornings and evenings only.
