There is layby close to the entrance. Paths are obviously well used, though the wood could be considered to be generally overgrown. Dominated by birch with the occasional oak, beech, willow and Scots pine, the site was enriched with an oak planting programme in 2001. A network of permissive paths form a circular route. Moth enthusiasts may spot the uncommon orange underwing, some interesting wildlife. Also important for Small Pearl Bordered Fritillary butterfly whose main food plant is the marsh violet. Rides and glades are being opened up by Durham Wildlife Trust with advice from Butterfly Conservation. 85 Trees Lone trees in field at High Burnhopeside, on right hand side of A691 heading north into Lanchester.

One of the ash trees is known to have a preservation order on it (in the grounds of High Burnhopeside, LHA ID No 85a). Three of the oak trees (LHA ID No 85b) have obviously been planted in a row, but we cannot find more information about them, landscaped in some way but more research is required. 89 Ragpath Heath This small reserve is separated into two by a minor road and is made up of woodland, heathland and grassland.
