Deadly nightshade

 

This site is an excellent example of an ancient woodland, protected by law as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. There is a wide range of plants, including columbine and the poisonous deadly nightshade, and a typical range of ancient woodland trees, including oak, ash, hazel and field maple. This mix of trees is more natural than that found in many other woodlands in the Stour Valley, where sweet chestnut and conifers have been planted. Notable birds include nightingales and woodpeckers.
