Introduction: This small 4.8ha site was donated to the Woodland Trust in 1993 by Jane Louisa Knapman, and named after her husband, William. It is part of a larger wooded complex, which has public footpath and bridleway access.
Location: 0.5 miles west of Warninglid, West Sussex.
What can I do? Walk through the different habitats found on site, including gill woodland around 2 deeply incised streams, two species-rich meadows and some tall character trees.
What can I see? Look out for large areas of wood anemones and bluebells in spring and colonies of twayblades (orchids). There are ferns in the gill valleys and some wet flush areas - supporting soft rush, sphagnum and other mosses.
What can I hear? Listen out for the songs of woodland birds.
