The site was previously a park for Norman House. It is woodland on a sandy and gravel soil, with meadows and six man-made ponds. Grassland plants include cowslips, wild strawberries and
Black poplars, which are the county's rarest native tree, have been planted to replace trees lost to storm damage.[1]
