The floor of this mixed deciduous woodland is dominated by mosses; in areas where this vegetation is less dense species such as yellow archangel, herb robert, wood sorrel and bluebell can be seen. A stream runs across the reserve, alongside which are a variety of rush species, willows and opposite-leaved golden saxifrage. Dead wood provides a valuable habitat for large numbers of fungi, including the birch polypore and scarlet elf cup and is relied upon by invertebrates for nesting, hibernation and food
