The wood is ancient semi-natural oak-beech woodland, which supports a varied flora including several uncommon species. The most important feature is a number of extensive spring-fed mires, dominated by willow and birch. There are also areas of beech woodland and marshy grassland.[1]
The site is open to the public,[3] and there is access by footpaths from Marlow Road.[2]
