Standen Hollybush Wood walk

This is a short walk around Hollybush Wood, part of the original Standen Estate. Hollybush Wood has remained tree covered and ancient woodland indicator plants grow in abundance, orchids, bluebells, dog's mercury and others. Stoats and weasels live among the undergrowth and herds of deer can often be seen running through the trees.
