The woodland is predominantly made up of a variety of tree species, including oak, beech, and ash. These trees create a dense canopy, providing a habitat for a diverse range of flora and fauna. Bluebells, primroses, and wild garlic are among the many wildflowers that carpet the forest floor during the spring season, creating a vibrant and colorful display.

Buryhill Plantation is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. The woodland is home to various bird species, such as woodpeckers, owls, and thrushes. Additionally, the plantation supports a thriving population of mammals, including deer, badgers, and foxes.

These paths wind through the trees, offering glimpses of enchanting glades and secluded clearings. The plantation also features a picnic area, providing a tranquil spot for visitors to enjoy a packed lunch amidst the serene surroundings.

Buryhill Plantation holds significant historical importance as well. It was once part of a larger estate that dates back several centuries.
