About the reserve

This small but mighty ancient woodland acts as a wildlife corridor between our Little Haven and Pound Wood nature reserves, part of the Daws Heath wooded landscape. There are a number of wild service trees here that are now a rare tree in the UK. The woodland is particularly beautiful in spring when the ancient woodland plants such as wood sorrel, bluebell and wood-rush carpet the floor and the sound of birdsong rings out.  

Look out for wood ants – these fascinating ants build large thatched mounds and are present in their thousands!
