Description - The woodland comprises approximately 11.16 acres (4.52ha) of mature and semi-mature, predominantly broadleaf tree species, interspersed with self-set trees and ground-level scrub.

The woodland also has some historic interest, being the site of two long-disused (presumably limestone) quarry holes, together with two disused limekilns, one of which is Grade II Listed. The listing describes the limekiln as an early 19th Century arched structure of roughly coursed limestone rubble construction, and it makes for a most-interesting feature to the land and locale.

Access to the woodland is taken off the council-maintained Llawnt to Selattyn road, where a short track then leads to a small clearing.

The sale of the woodland presents a rare opportunity to purchase an intriguing corner of England, with a multitude of potential uses.
