The habitat is heathland with an ancient pond and rich wildlife.[1][2] The site is designated common land.[3]

As of July 2015 the site is listed by Natural England as a Local Nature Reserve, but according to Three Rivers Council this is an error and they have asked Natural England to remove it from the list.
