This small area of ancient woodland is a fragment of a much larger woodland which was clear felled quite recently to provide land for a caravan park. The remaining strip of woodland is confined to the northern and eastern edges of the park. It consists mainly of ash with smaller numbers of oak standards. Neglected hazel coppice forms a dense understorey throughout. A number of old hazel coppice stools can still be seen and are evidence of the wood's antiquity. The field layer is covered in a thick growth of bramble. Great Wood is listed in English Nature's Ancient Woodland Inventory.
