Botanical interest relates to the complex mosaic of habitats present, including heathland, oligotrophic and mesotrophic waterbodies and in particular, broad-leaved semi-natural woodland. Rare species include rare higher plants, and notable lichen and bryophyte communities. In addition, there are notable assemblages of Odonata and Lepidoptera.
