This native broadleaf woodland has some wonderful mature specimen trees including oak horse chestnut lime ash sycamore alder and Norway maple. There is a large meadow area (previously a cricket pitch) along with an area of new native planting of oak and ash that is establishing well. The site is popular with local people particularly dog walkers and families.
