The Cotswold Way National Trail runs through the site, crossing the A40 from the opposite side of the valley where it runs along the edge of Dowdeswell Woods and below the dam of Dowdeswell Reservoir. The site is listed in the 'Cotswold District' Local Plan 2001-2011 (on line) as a Key Wildlife Site (KWS).[3] LocationThe site is in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is on the north-facing slope of the scarp and is steep. It overlies limestone of the Inferior Oolite and clays and sands of the Upper Lias layer. The designated site is part of a larger woodland area which has been replanted with conifers and broad-leaved species. There are seepage areas and a spring in the north of the site.[1] WoodlandThe wood is considered to be a fine example of the ancient semi-natural coppice woodland which was common in the Cotswolds. Species include ash, pedunculate oak, whitebeam, small-leaved lime and large-leaved lime (nationally rare). The understorey is hazel, field maple, hawthorn and there are lime-loving shrubs in particular areas.[1] HauntingLineover woods and the ancient history surrounding it have given rise to various stories and 'legends' the most recent of which being the vanilla haunting. The vanilla haunting occurred on the night before the super moon of December 2017 and consisted of sightings of a shady figure darting between trees above the coniferous section of the woodland. This was then coupled with various items of camp gear going missing E.g. knives, lights and phones and a strange wafting vanilla smell throughout the night as well as an incredibly charged and uninviting atmosphere.{{Citation needed|date=February 2018}} FloraThe steep slopes support bramble and dog's mercury. At the base of the slope meadow saffron and herb paris may be found, for example. There are recorded rare plants which include angular Solomon's seal and lily-of-the-valley.[1] FaunaThe site is known for beetles including uncommon species. There are a wide variety of butterflies and moths recorded including the pearl-bordered fritillary.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 Natural England SSSI information on the citation 2. ^Cotswold District Local Plan, Appendix 1, Sites of Special Scientific Interest {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120326123052/http://www.localplan.cotswold.gov.uk/localplan/text/texta1.htm |date=26 March 2012 }} 3. ^Cotswold District Local Plan, Appendix 2, Key Wildlife Sites {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131013215021/http://www.localplan.cotswold.gov.uk/localplan/text/texta2.htm |date=13 October 2013 }} SSSI Source
