Chanters Wood name relates to birdsong of the dunnock, known in the past as hedge chanter or hedge chat because of the bird’s pleasing and mellow babble.

From the woodland entrance, at the northern boundary, where there is space to park a vehicle, a path leads off, straight ahead at first and then to the right, passing a few smaller spruce trees and connecting with an old grassy, timber extraction route. A short distance along here, a rustic bench is situated in a private spot, a great place to absorb the character of the forest.

The well-grown oak trees are the dominant species and the pockets of Scots Pine add diversity. Beneath these, the fuzz of shrubby hawthorn helps make the woodland feel secluded as well as being great wildlife habitat.

There are interesting fungi and mosses throughout, native ferns dotted around as well as patches of woodland grasses. A varied woodland edge habitat is found all along the northern edge, against the main track (bridlepath) and all down the eastern boundary of the wood, where a drain forms the actual boundary but is interfaced with a grassy ride. There's a mixture of species with some bramble and wild rose, blackthorn, goat willow and birch. It’s the kind of cover that woodcock favour, and, especially in the winter months when there are more of them in the UK, they may break cover in a startling way, from very close quarters.
