The Wylye valley around Wylye Wood is characterised by open rolling pasture and woodland.  Wylye Wood provides a haven for wildlife near to the A36: including roe deer and badgers and there is an interesting mix of coniferous and broadleaf tree types including some particularly fine beech and oak specimens. An open clearing within the wood provides further diversity of habitat amongst dense ferns for ground nesting birds and small mammals. Set in parkland with open meadows and specimen trees while inside bluebells are widespread on the woodland floor.

The nearby landscape also features remnants of much earlier conflict. The iron age hill fort Battlesbury Camp dominates nearby and the world heritage phenomenon of Stonehenge is only a short drive away.

The natural beauty of the area and its accessibility has given rise to a flourishing tourism economy.
