A steep sloping wood almost split in two by a deep gully
Court Wood is predominately oak and ash with hazel and bramble in the understorey. Honeysuckle is particularly abundant and the drier upper slopes have large drifts of typical ancient woodland indicators such as bluebell and primrose. The permanently damp slopes of the gully are ideal for ferns, including male fern, hard fern and common polypody. The reserve provides nesting sites and shelter for various woodland birds, including buzzard, great spotted woodpecker and tree warblers.
