The wood is easily accessible via a network of footpaths that meander through the trees, providing visitors with a tranquil and peaceful environment.

The woodland is predominantly made up of native tree species, such as oak, ash, and beech, which provide a dense canopy that filters the sunlight and creates a cool and shady atmosphere. The forest floor is carpeted with a variety of wildflowers and ferns, further adding to its natural charm.
