The mixed broadleaf woodland covers approximately 2 acres. The trees are ash, pedunculate oak, beech, wild cherry, lime, sweet chestnut and field maple. The shrubs are hazel, wayfaring tree, hawthorn, blackthorn, guelder rose and dog rose. Primroses and bluebells have been introduced whilst other plants will be added as woodland conditions develop. The woodland has been planted to include several open rides and one open glade. Two sections of the woodland have been planted using traditional coppice patterns i.e. ash and hazel squares around an oak or a beech.

Our aim is to conserve and enhance the woodland to retain its wildlife and landscape value by traditional and sustainable forms of management, whilst providing an income from woodland products.

The woodland will help secure the conservation of many species in the local area, provide extensive natural habitats and create important long-term features. There is a balance of open spaces and wooded areas to avoid conflicts with key species.

The native broadleaf woodland is, in part, coppiced. Coppice is a way of managing woodlands to produce regular quantities of woodland products and using re-growth of shoots from the cut stump for the next crop. The woodland is managed to ensure that there is a balanced mixture of ages of trees. This management is undertaken rather than the easier 'even-aged stand' approach to secure greater aesthetic and habitat diversity. Where possible, dead wood both standing and lying is retained for its value to insects and nesting birds. The woodland is an important habitat for free range poultry and for mushroom growing.
