A variety of habitats are present including semi-natural woodland, woodland plantation, grassland, old quarry, still and running water.

The site is also designated as a County Wildlife Site because of the presence of Ancient Woodland within the site and the presence of ancient woodland indicator species in other areas of the site such as wild garlic, moschatel, pignut, yellow pimpernel, wood millet, bluebell and primrose. The notable species deptford pink is also present on the fringe of the site.
