An ancient woodland that was cleared in the 1960s, and planted with beech and conifer trees.

Ancient earthworks can be found in the wood, and Old Shire Lane on the eastern edge of the wood is thought to be part of the boundary between Wessex and Mercia.

In 2008, the Woodland Trust awarded local resident Janet Anders their "Volunteer of the Year Award" for her work in organising weekly volunteer work parties in the wood. Trust volunteer honoured. Watford Observer (England) - Tuesday, March 4, 2008
