This small community wood some 2 Hectares in size has undergone some transformation in recent years. The area was inaccessible for many years, surrounded by housing and an iron rail fence.

Access/furniture
Access can be found off Woodside Road where there is some roadside parking.

Habitat
Mixed broadleaf woodland, predominantly oak and ash with an understorey of hazel and hawthorn. A fine example of oak woodland in a high density housing area much used by the local community.

Management
When the woodland was opened up, tree works were carried out, rubbish cleared, bat and bird boxes erected and an ecological survey carried out. The current unobtrusive management of reactive tree works reflect the high local ecological value. The woodland is a biodiversity oasis in an urban landscape.
