Westfield Wood is a serene nature reserve that is part of an internationally-important yew woodland. The central part of the wood is occupied by a dense yew trees interspersed with mature ash, beech, field maple, wild cherry, and oak. Some of the mature beech trees are fine specimens. Others, which died in a bad storm in 1987, provide important dead wood habitat for many insects and fungi.
