Wimpole Wood has six bat species, including the barbastelle, which is a very rare species in Britain; females give birth and raise young in tree crevices. Eversden Wood is a species rich example of a type of woodland rare in lowland Britain, with ancient ash and field maple trees. It has many herbs typical of old woodlands.[4]
There is access to the woods by public footpaths.[5]
