One of the most popular attractions in The Woods West Midlands is the ancient oak tree, which is estimated to be over 500 years old. This majestic tree is a symbol of the forest's rich history and is a popular spot for visitors to take photos and admire its beauty. The forest is also home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and badgers. Birdwatchers will be delighted to know that the forest is home to a wide range of bird species, including woodpeckers, owls, and buzzards.

In the spring, the forest is alive with the sound of birdsong and the sight of wildflowers in bloom. In the summer, visitors can enjoy picnics and barbecues in the sunshine, while in the autumn, the forest is transformed into a riot of color as the leaves turn golden and red. In the winter, the forest takes on a magical quality as the snow falls and the trees are dusted with frost.
