Wildlife is much in evidence and there are deer racks criss-crossing the woodland. New "slot marks" can be clearly seen and if you're not quiet enough to see one of the various species of deer that inhabit the woodland, you may be able to identify them from the footprints left by red, roe or muntjac deer.
The woodland is made up of mainly alder with some birch and ash. These trees in this area and cope well with the winter months when the woodland is wetter due to its proximity to the River Thet.
Thick in parts, the floor is covered in sedges and rushes and forms a soft underbelly below the mature trees.

It is also a great wood to make charcoal from and was thought to be the best source of high-grade charcoal for gunpowder.
