The wood is mainly oak with an understorey of hazel, birch and holly. An old bomb crater is now a pond which provides water for a variety of wildlife. Part of the site is closed to the public so as to provide a sanctuary for foxes and other wildlife.[2] Fungi include parasitic bolete,[3] and seventy-four species of birds have been recorded on the site.[4]
