OS Map 189 TQ 981355 : Nr Hamstreet
Situated some 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Hamstreet.
Just over 10 hectares of ancient woodland within a much larger area of woodland, which is of particular note for moths and butterflies. Among the species of moth present are lesser belle, sub-angled wave and scarce merveille du jour. The woodland rides attract many butterflies, including common blue, grizzled and dingy skippers, ringlet, and red and white admirals.
