An area designated as ancient woodland some of which has been replanted. The woodland is depicted on the 1st edition OS map of 1854 with little alteration to its boundaries. The exception to this is an area to the northwest by Limekiln and Station Lanes which has been cut down. The road pattern to the north suggests the wood was once larger and an old field name, 'Spring Holt Close', suggests that the wood may once have been cultivated as a coppice wood. Legibility of the previous landscape is fragmentary as the area is still wooded.
