The sense of peace here is almost tangible yet observe carefully and the whole wood is alive with activity.

A series of delightful clearings flanked by giant oak trees punctuate the dense cover of hazel and birch. A series of old woodland trails can just about be made out amongst the thick summer growth. These routes into the cover of the wood probably date from a time when the woodland was an important source of material for the thriving local hurdle making industry. This industry played a crucial role in the development of the local agrarian economy for the smallholders that grazed the surrounding pasture. These woodland rides are a useful feature for providing access for future stewardship and enjoyment of the woods and for a time enabled the now defunct hunting practices after which the wood is named but that have made an important contribution towards the management of the wood.
