Woodland - Classified as ancient woodland with replanting in the 1950's parts were clear felled in 2006 and are now in broadleaf natural regeneration. Further replanting which took place in the 1970s has been periodically thinned.
The woodland was planted with stands of Larch and Norway Spruce which as outlined in woodland management plan could be thinned before being clear felled, there is an understorey of Beech and Sycamore coming through and several old Beech trees around the permitter. Some of the area that was cleared previously is regenerating with mixed broadleaf.

The sale of the woodland would contain covenants for the current car park area (part of lot 2) to remain for members of the public, as it is much used for access to the adjacent ancient hillfort .
