The ancient Reydon Wood, developed as a coppice where timbers are cut every 8 - 25 years may be small in size, but the splendour is clear for all to see.

It is a sublime spot for viewing bluebells during late April and May, with other flowers being early purple orchid violets, and yellow archangels.

Birds to look for are the woodcock, Tawny owl, and treecreeper, you may also hear the wonderful song of the nightingale in spring and early summer, along with the intense work of the woodpecker.
