The wood is widely recognised as one of the top places in the UK to see the Native Bluebells.

 

The north-facing slope is likely to have been tree-covered for over 10,000 years. This woodland was mentioned in the Domesday Book and covers more than 15 hectares, it may have been used by saxon settlers. In 1487 Henry VII and his army camped nearby on their way to the Battle of East Stoke.
