Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, the wood is known for its diverse range of plant and animal species, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers.

The wood is predominantly composed of broadleaved trees, including oak, ash, beech, and birch, which create a vibrant and colorful canopy during the warmer months. The forest floor is covered in a thick carpet of ferns, bluebells, and wildflowers, adding to the natural beauty of the area.

Several walking trails wind through Engineers Wood, allowing visitors to explore its hidden corners and discover its hidden gems. These trails offer an opportunity to observe the abundant wildlife that calls the woodland home, including deer, foxes, rabbits, and a variety of bird species.

Common Seal in the Great Ouse It is not unusual to see common seals in the river between here and Earith, with animals coming inland from the Wash, with some spending considerable time in the area, including giving birth.

Cattle by the Great Ouse With a Cattle Egret in attendance, as is now unremarkable. Just three years ago it would have been quite a notable bird sighting.
