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.
