To your left when looking towards the main house from the Lime Avenue, you will see the bird feeding station on the edge of the wood.
In the winter a variety of woodland birds can be seen including:
- blue, great and long tailed tits;
- nuthatch;
- great spotted woodpecker;
- blackbird;
- pheasant; and
- jay.
In this area there is a fine example of a mature larch, the only European conifer that loses its needles in winter. There are also mature beech and oak growing in the nearby pasture.
Behind this area is part of the original entrance route to the main house. This surfaced track now leads to the walled garden and nursery.
