The path passes through the heart of New Close Wood, which is predominately oak woodland with ash and frequent silver birch. Other woody species to look out for include hazel, holly, rowan, aspen, field maple and elm.

Honeysuckle is generally quite frequent with its tangle of fraying stems creating a lacework of twisted branches between closely growing trees and shrubs. The ground flora is equally interesting with bluebell, wood anemone, wood sorrel, foxglove, lords and ladies, greater stitchwort, herb robert, wood avens, skull cap, enchanter's nightshade, red campion and an array of fern tussocks.
