This reclaimed industrial land, although still in the early stages of growth, already hosts a variety of habitats. Amongst the woods are areas of meadows, hills, a lake, a series of ponds, and a beck flows around the boundary. Wildlife is already abundant with, waterfowl, amphibians and dragonflies in and around the ponds, and hares, foxes and small mammals in the grassland. A new Activity Centre provides educational resources, for visiting groups. There is also an amphitheatre, a Nature Trail and a Sculpture Trail is currently under construction.
