This ancient woodland is a tranquil oasis, with a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees, including oak, beech, and pine, their gnarled branches stretching towards the sky. A carpet of bluebells, wild garlic, and ferns covers the forest floor, while birdsong fills the air. The woodland is dotted with ancient trees, some of which are thought to be over 1,000 years old, their twisted trunks and branches a testament to their age. The reserve is also home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, badgers, and foxes, which can be spotted roaming through the underbrush. A network of walking trails crisscrosses the woodland, allowing visitors to explore the reserve's hidden clearings and secret glades.
