Priory Wood, just by the remains of the old Priory, has plenty of firewood, ponds suitable for enlargement and surprisingly despite its proximity to the M3 a wealth of wildlife. Oak and ash are the main broadleaved trees and in equal numbers larch and Norway spruce, the conifers. Silver birch and alder are present too, hazel is the main species in the shrub layer. Primroses and plenty of bird life, some of the herons fly over from the adjacent heronry and muntjac deer graze.
Nearby, England's largest private house, the palace of the Marquess of Winchester, is now a ruin of Old Basing. Unfortunately the Marquess was on the wrong ‘side’ in the Civil War and Oliver Cromwell and his followers converted this large abode into the ruin it is today.
