The main species include Oak, Beech, Birch, Rowan, Holly, Douglas Fir and Larch - there are a significant number of large trees, areas of naturally regenerated coppice and in season masses of Bluebells and other wildflowers.
A useful hard track provides access up the centre of the main section of woodland, at the end of the track close to the northern boundary is an interesting dilapidated brick-built kiln and some wood working equipment (including the remains of a rack saw). The vendors regularly see badger, foxes, deer and wonderful birdlife in the woodland. In all a wonderful, tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life, conveniently located close to the villages of Cotleigh and Stockland, only a few miles off the main A30/A303.
