Description
Wildlife
The woodland is dominated by oak with elm, sycamore, alder and sweet chestnut. At ground-level there is much bramble, although bluebell, dog mercury, pignut and wood anemone are also present, the latter suggesting that the wood has ancient origins. The flushes contain rushes, meadowsweet and great willowherb, along with square-stalked St John's-wort and lesser water-parsnip.Facilities
