Cloaked across part of the Suckley Hills, Blackhouse Wood Nature Reserve is a rich and ancient semi-natural woodland. The green heart-shaped leaves of the lime tree are a welcome sight; the large-leaved lime is among the rarest of Britain's native lime trees.

Wood vetch, nettle-leaved bellflower, rock rose, yellow wort, wild thyme and tutsan all benefit from the ridge's geology. The reserve is also a stronghold for moths, with around 500 species recorded here.
