A perfect woodland being level with coppiced hazel and sweet chestnut together with some mature oaks and occasional Scots pine, silver birch, field maple, beech  and holly.  A plentiful supply of bluebells, foxgloves and  heathers bring bursts of colour in late spring and there are areas and moss on the forest floor. A small seasonal pond is found in the north-east corner of the wood which could be enlarged to make a more permanent feature. There are a couple of natural clearings within the wood which let in light and sunshine providing an inviting habitat for insects and butterflies. Just inside the locked entrance gate, near the road, there is a generous timber stacking area with other owners, with a good stoned track, leading to the start of Pilot Wood.

Note  tents in photos 6 and 10 are not included. Photo 10 is a Swedish log/torch.
