Ashplats wood is one of the best kept woods in East Grinstead. The woodland is maintained by Ashplats Wood Conservation Group (http://ashplats.org) who often do litter picking and coppicing to keep the woodland in top condition. The woodland is also a West Sussex Site of Nature Conservation Importance within the High Wield Area of Outstanding natural beauty.
During late April/early May, the bluebells are in full bloom and add to be beauty of the woodland.
