Whitwell Wood is a large area of ancient woodland featuring mostly broad-leaved wood with over 20 species indicating ancient woodland, and a freshwater spring known as the Ginny Spring.

The valley of Bandhay Dike (containing the spring) is an SSSI because of a number of species that are rare in the area, especially some rare orchids.
