This deciduous ancient wood supports a wide range of tree species, including beech, oak, elm, sycamore, wild cherry and hornbeam. Small areas of hazel and small-leaved lime can also be found. Dutch elm disease has affected part of the wood, although suckering elm regrowth is evident in places. The understorey is composed of hazel, elder, hawthorn and bramble. Wood anemone together with bluebell, primrose and sweet violet provide a wonderful show in the Spring. Lux Wood is also an important site for birds. Nightingale and blackcap are amongst the breeding birds and hawfinch is a frequent visitor to the wood.
