Once a part of the Forest of Arden, the wood used to be coppiced in a traditional manner and volunteers now carry on the tradition. There are lots of grand oak trees and silver birch plus some ash and beech alongside. Visitors in May will enjoy the spectacular blanket of bluebells dotted with delicate wood anemone, yellow pimpernel and common dog-violet. The soils here are acidic, sandy and clay which suits wood sage, foxglove and bracken.
Families will enjoy the Crackley Family Adventure. There are 8 posts to look out for with a different brass rubbing disc on each.
