One area fronts on to the Wix Road on the southern boundary and forms an area of trees, scrub and pond, totalling 3.12 acres (1.26 hectares) approx., running alongside the water-course. Further north alongside this watercourse is the second area of woodland which is within an area of approx. of 1.87 acres (0.76 hectares).

This road continues on to the Blue House Farm from where it continues as an unmade track to serve the northern most field.
