This small wood only 1 hectare in size is situated on the edge of Stoke Park bounded by Parkway.  It would have originally been linked to both Jubilee Wood and until the construction of Parkway was part of Thorneycroft Wood.  Collectively they would have made a larger area of Semi Ancient Natural Woodland.  It is interesting to note that though the three woodlands are now separated they contain almost the same tree species and ground flora.

Access/furniture
The woodland is mainly used for access with a well used footpath and cycle route from the town centre and local college to Spectrum, the Leisure centre on the north side of Stoke Park.

Habitat
Mixed broadleaf woodland, predominantly oak with ash and lime, an understorey of hazel and hawthorn.  The woodlands structure has slowly become less as pressure from the formal parkland setting and high public usage increases.

Management
Reactive tree works and some tree planting is carried out annually.
