Location
On either side of the A4118, before entering Park Mill, Gower. There is limited parking space at a lay-by on the northern side of the A4118, and further parking can be found in the village of Parkmill. A public footpath crosses the south-western part of the wood, along the line of a water authority boundary of the reserve. There is a permissive path through the centre of the southern wood, but there are no public rights of way in the northern wood.

Bramble, Bluebell (4-6), Ramsons (4-6), Twayblade (5-8) and Hart’s-tongue Fern
Occur in abundance. The Woods are one of the last Gower localities for the Greater
Butterfly-orchid (5-7).

The woodland provides a suitable habitat for a range of breeding woodland birds such as Chiffchaff, Robin, Great Tit, Treecreeper and Willow Warbler with other species such as Buzzard, Great Spotted Woodpecker and Woodcock regularly seen.
