Its classified as a PAWS (plantation on ancient woodland site) wood, see the last map reproduced from magic.
Wildlife seen include muntjack, fallow and sika deer; nuthatch, goldfinch, wryneck, greater and lesser spotted woodpecker, buzzard, wren, robin; small mammals including the stoat and the list goes on!
Along the southern boundary are fine mature oak and occasional semi-mature Norway spruce and beech, looking carefully you will also spot the odd deciduous larch. This is a wonderful woodland to be enjoyed all year round, light, airy, visually pleasing and with a great selection of trees. Experiencing this woodland grow up and mature will be a joy.
This wood was formerly part of the Gayhurst Estate and as such the site has been well-managed during its lifetime. This is demonstrated by the quality of the grass rides and hedges.
