The wood is predominantly made up of mature deciduous trees, with a wide variety of species including oak, beech, and birch. These towering trees create a dense canopy, filtering sunlight and creating a cool, shady atmosphere.

Birdwatchers can delight in spotting species such as woodpeckers, thrushes, and owls, while nature enthusiasts may come across squirrels, foxes, and even the occasional deer. The wood is also known for its vibrant butterfly population, with various species flitting among the flowers during the warmer months.

Visitors to Crow Wood can enjoy a peaceful stroll along well-maintained footpaths that wind their way through the woodland. These paths lead to small clearings and tranquil ponds, offering the opportunity for quiet reflection or a picnic amidst nature's serenity.

Road Junction Confusing signs! You used to be able to get to Ullardhall Farm via Ullardhall Lane, that is until the M6 was built (back in the early '60s) which split the lane in two. On some maps the lane looks as though it passes under the M6!!
