South Newdigate Wood is part of a larger woodland known as Orltons Copse. It is understood the woods here were once a collection of gardens for horticulture. Part of South Newdigate Wood was until recent years an open area which has since become a haven for birds and wildlife. The undergrowth and brambles could be cut back to open up spaces and allow the younger trees to flourish, as well as providing the opportunity to plant new trees. On the east side of the wood is a very small seasonal stream and a small pond (possibly spring fed) in a gentle valley. Along this side mature trees are found including oak, hornbeam and some ash. There are mixed aged broadleaf species, including birch, ash, oak, field maple, hawthorn and hornbeam.

There is a Tree Preservation Order on South Newdigate Wood (details of this TPO are available upon request), however a thinning licence has recently been approved. South Newdigate Wood and the adjoining woodlands are part of a Local Wildlife Site – details are available here.

A rustic bench has been installed in a small private clearing. Here a new owner can sit and immerse themselves in this rich woodland environment. Privately owned woods are situated on all sides of South Newdigate Wood.
