The woodland covers an area of approximately 20 acres and is home to a diverse range of plant and animal species.

The forest consists mainly of deciduous trees, with oak, beech, and ash being the dominant species. These trees provide a dense canopy that offers shade and shelter to the forest floor. The forest floor itself is covered in a thick layer of leaf litter, creating a rich habitat for various small mammals, insects, and fungi.
