The wood is also home to a small stream that meanders through its heart, adding to its natural charm.

Birdwatchers are particularly drawn to Upper Wood due to its abundance of avian species. Rare and endangered birds such as the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker and the Nightingale can be spotted here, along with more common woodland birds like the Great Tit and the Chaffinch.
