This ancient oak and hornbeam wood has an understorey of hazel. There are small-leaved limes in groups several metres in diameter, which are genetically one tree, as a result of coppicing decades ago.^[1][3]

There is access from the neighbouring Millennium Wood and by a footpath from Bobbits Lane.
