The wood is mostly Ash and Laurel, which supplies cover for deer. Foxes, badgers and rabbits inhabit the ground, woodpeckers ,rooks and squirrel the trees. Owls hoot at night, it’s what owls do. There is a perfect area in the wood where guests are welcome to build a campfire, we do (weather permitting). We have a dachshund dog and a ginger cat.
