A fine ancient woodland near Little Baddow, owned and managed by the parish council. The standard trees are oak, with an underwood of hornbeam and sweet chestnut former coppice, which is being re-coppiced in patches. It has wood anemones and bluebells in spring, other wild flowers in the recently coppiced areas, and resident badgers.
