Kirk Wood has been classes as ancient woodland although the dominant canopy tree is Beech. Sycamore has become dominant is some areas. Some of these trees are being thinned out to improve the diversity of the ground flora by increasing light levels.
Little wood is situated opposite Kirk wood. It has a more open woodland structure and contains more Oak.
