Covering an area of approximately 10 acres, it is nestled within the scenic countryside near the village of Wildwood. The copse is renowned for its natural beauty, offering visitors a tranquil and immersive experience in the heart of nature.

The wood is predominantly composed of native tree species, including oak, beech, and birch, which create a dense canopy overhead, providing shade and a cool atmosphere during hot summer months.
