Within Crofton Woods there are coppiced hazel trees along with mature oaks. In the spring there are many wild flowers including bluebells, wood anemones and midland hawthorn which indicate that the woods have been here a long time. The area is a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation and is home to many birds and small mammals so please take care. It is also a site of special scientific interest so please respect it when you walk through and do the caches. The cache is at the Laburnham way entrance to the woods and is magnetic. Please keep to the paths.
Permission for cache placement obtained from Ian Wright, Biodiversity Advisor and Site Manager for Crofton Woods and from Natural England.
