This small ancient woodland is surrounded by arable fields and is situated to the south of the village of Flowton. It is listed in English Nature's Inventory of Ancient Woodland and a rather overgrown green lane leads to the north-eastern corner of the wood. Flowtonhall Grove is composed almost entirely of oak, field maple and hazel coppice with scattered oak and ash standards throughout. Two glades created by the felling of diseased elm are present in the northern half of the wood. Below the tree layer is an understorey composed largely of hawthorn. The shrub layer is particularly dense in the south western corner where some old large hawthorn and crab apple trees are present. The shrub layer provides a good habitat for nesting birds, particularly warblers. Bluebell, primrose and early- purple orchid provide a colourful display in the Spring. In addition, herb-Paris, a scarce ancient woodland indicator has been recorded in the ground layer. A small linear pond situated in the north-eastern corner is silted up and of limited value for wildlife.
