The woodland is primarily composed of oak trees, with occasional patches of beech and birch. These towering trees create a dense canopy, allowing only dappled sunlight to filter through to the forest floor.

The woodland offers several walking trails that wind through its enchanting paths, providing visitors with an opportunity to immerse themselves in nature's tranquility. These trails are well-maintained and offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
