The woodland is primarily composed of native Welsh oak trees, creating a dense and lush forest that provides a habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna. The area is also home to a variety of other tree species, including ash, beech, and birch, adding to the diversity of the landscape.

Milk-churn dock The importance of dairy farming is indicated by the regular presence at the roadside of a dock for milk churns. Situated at a height suitable for moving the churns on the level onto a wagon or lorry, this avoided lifting heavy weights from the ground. There is even a ramp to the rear of this one, suggesting that the building in the hedge was once the dairy.
