This is a deciduous woodland in the Fynn valley consisting of alder, ash, oak, hornbeam and sycamore with wet areas of sedges and reeds. An area planted with hybrid poplars is also included within the site boundary as it contains standing water fed by springs and also the occasional oak and alder. Spring pond is very much overgrown with little open water but the ground is not water-logged with the springs flowing as streams. Some evidence of past coppicing is apparent and recent work (1986) has been undertaken along the ditch boundary to the north-east. There is a diverse age structure with regrowth of alder and hornbeam of considerable age. The flora includes bluebells on the slope rising to the railway line and some plants normally indicative of ancient woodland for example wood melick, sanicle and moschatel. Wetland species occur in the boggy flushes; marsh marigold, hemp agrimony, yellow flag and common valerian. A well used public footpath from Tuddenham to Playford runs through the wood.
