This diverse woodland wildlife treasure trove astride the River Pang is a haven of peace and beauty, renowned for its flowers, butterflies and moths.

Flat, soft ground after rain, can flood in winter; some cross slopes and coarse aggregates on paths, gates.

Large swathes of tranquil woodland surround a patchwork of meadows and pastures set in the heart of the Pang Valley in Berkshire.

The River Pang meanders through the woodland providing a beautiful setting that is thought to have inspired E. H. Shepard to illustrate The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.

As winter creeps in you may see a fox or stoat as they work hard to survive.

Walks by the Pang and through the meadows are truly memorable when the landscape is encrusted with a sparkling winter frost.

In mild years, the spring-flowering Primrose can appear as early as December.

Look out for its pretty, creamy-yellow flowers in woodlands and grasslands.

As its name suggests, Wood spurge is found in woodlands.

It is an attractive evergreen that displays cup-shaped, green flowers in clusters and dark green leaves.

The mass of white, frothy blossom on a wild cherry is a sight to behold.

Planted as an ornamental tree, it also grows wild in woods and hedges.

Its red fruits are the edible cherries we know and love.
