Old Park Wood This wood is an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest). The bank across the centre of the photograph, (most clearly seen to the right of the farm trailer) surrounds a small square moat which has a water filled channel overgrown with reeds and bull rushes. The trees just behind the trailer are actually on the small raised piece of land protected by the moat.
