Covering an area of approximately 50 hectares, it is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful retreat. The wood is situated near the village of Stucks, which is known for its charming rural atmosphere.

The woodland is characterized by a diverse range of tree species, including oak, beech, ash, and birch. These trees create a dense canopy that provides shelter for numerous wildlife species such as deer, foxes, badgers, and various bird species. The forest floor is adorned with a variety of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses, adding to its natural beauty.

Stucks Wood is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore the area and enjoy its serene atmosphere. The paths wind through the wood, offering glimpses of tranquil glades and bubbling streams. The wood is also home to a small pond, which attracts a range of amphibians and insects, further enhancing its ecological significance.

The wood is managed by a local conservation group, which ensures its preservation and protection. Regular maintenance activities are undertaken to maintain the health of the trees and promote biodiversity in the area.
