This reserve consists of ancient semi-natural woodland bought in 2002 with funds raised by a public appeal organised by the Horsley Countryside Preservation Society along with a further 13.5 acres of ancient semi-natural woodland purchased in 2010, it is managed on behalf of East Horsley Parish Council.
Nearly 180 plant species have been recorded, including a large number of bluebells. Over 50 species of birds call the woodlands home and include woodpeckers, nuthatches, treecreepers, tawny owls and sparrowhawks.
Roe deer, foxes and bats can be seen and the site is particularly good for amphibians including the common toad and great crested newt, making it a regionally important site.
