Situated on the outskirts of a quaint village, it covers an area of approximately 500 acres, making it an expansive and diverse natural landscape. The plantation is predominantly covered by dense woodland, with towering oak, beech, and birch trees creating a lush and vibrant canopy. These trees provide a haven for a wide variety of wildlife, including deer, rabbits, and numerous species of birds.

The woodland floor of Crowhill Plantation is adorned with a rich tapestry of flora, including wildflowers, ferns, and mosses. This creates a stunning display of colors and textures throughout the seasons, attracting nature enthusiasts and photographers alike.
