Ilex aquifolium
Centuries of forest management have shaped the surrounding belts of woodland, composed notably of beech "Fagus sylvatica" and pedunculate oak "Quercus robur". Repeated pollarding has shaped the growth patterns of centuries-old trees. The discontinuous canopy favours a diverse understory, dominated by holly "Ilex aquifolium", whitebeam "Sorbus aria" and rowan "S. aucuparia" with birches.
