Description - This small oak and ash woodland extending to 3.50 acres (1.42 ha) is nestled amidst other wooded areas, situated on the west-facing slope of an Old Red Sandstone ridge. The woodland has existed for centuries, allowing it to acquire the characteristic plants associated with ancient woodlands. Some of the individual ash trees bear evidence of growing from former coppice management, while there are also impressive mature oaks and ash trees.

The moist, humus-rich soils create a vibrant display of bluebells in early spring, alongside other indicators of ancient woodland such as ramsons, dog’s mercury, violets, and broad-leaved helleborine. Within the wood, you’ll find a significant amount of dead, fallen timber providing valuable micro-habitats for fungi and wood-boring insects.
