The reserve is a mixture of woodland and meadows. Perfect cover for passing roe deer. The predominant trees are ash, hazel and yew, which were coppiced. Coppicing has been re-introduced on a small scale.
The path crosses a few stiles and uses gates where possible. The meadows are still grazed by cows and sheep and kept un-fertilised.
The nature reserve was given to the Trust in 1977 by Miss Mary Widdup.
