Kingswood Glen has ancient woodland, origins as an Iron Age hill-fort, and Roman connections. There are beech trees, oak, hazel, hornbeam and willow and in 1980 a pollen analysis survey showed that the site has likely remained undisturbed for 800 years.
The ponds are home to crested newts, mallards, and coots. The Glen is now listed as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation.
