Summary
Langley Wood This wood stands on acid clays, locally overlain by sands and gravels. The varied soils and drainage have produced a rich and diverse woodland and several species of tree and shrub present in Langley Wood are now rare or extinct in the New Forest. Most notable of these is small-leaved lime. The local plant life includes indicators of ancient woodland such as orpine, Solomon''s- seal and southern woodrush. The site also supports many 'old forest'' lichens. A trail, the Avon Valley Path, passes close to the reserve.
Wildlife Dormouse and five species of deer are found in the wood together with breeding birds such as wood warbler, woodcock and lesser-spotted woodpecker.See the full content of this document
