Silver birch along with some oak have been allowed to naturally regenerate over the last decades. The woodland is now at thicket stage and could now be thinned to produce wood fuel, canes, poles and fencing. Scots pine and corsican pine that remain offer great cover and nesting sites.

The forest floor is relatively open in winter months with summer seeing areas of bracken and pockets of woodland flowers.

Whilst the woodland is surrounded by a high deer fence which helps to stop trespass and ensures a high level of security it does not stop the passage of the majority of wildlife.

Over the last decades the local badgers and muntjac deer have made a number of routes through the fence.

The woodland is relatively flat set between the A14 and the small hamlet of Borley Green it forms the northern edge of a far greater area of woodland. The surrounding countryside is dominated by large woodlands and open arable fields giving a wonderful rural feel. The soil is silty loam soils and is free draining with the occasional wetter flushes.

The woodland is accessed from the highway via a forest track suitable for most family vehicles. There are no public footpaths through the wood ensuring privacy.

Sporting and mineral rights are not included in the leasehold.

Blois Wood provides the opportunity for a new owner to engage in family forestry in a small scale. Managing a mixed woodland and learning bushcraft skills is a great way to escape modern life. Camping or building woodland hides and all sorts of other outdoor activities can be done here. The small clearings would make an excellent spot to place bee hives or spend time nature watching.

For those seeking a tranquil retreat it could be ideal for forest bathing This Japanese practice is a process of relaxation; known in Japan as shinrin yoku. The simple method of being calm and quiet amongst the trees, observing nature around you whilst breathing deeply can help both adults and children de-stress and boost health and wellbeing in a natural way. Perhaps the ultimate post Covid remedy.

The woodland is named after Stephen Of Blois, who was the king of England from 1135 to 1154.The legend of the green children from Woolpit concerns two children of an unusual skin colour who are reported to have been seen in the village sometime in the 12th century, during the time of Stephen of Blois. The two children, a brother and a sister, seemed perfectly normal, except for their green skin colour. They spoke in an unknown tongue, and the only thing they ate was green beans. Finally, they learned to eat other food and thus lost their green colour, but the boy was sickly and died shortly after they had been baptized. The girl adapted to her new life, but was considered "quite glitches and immoral in her behaviour." After learning to speak English, she explained that she had come with her brother from St. Martin's Land, an underground world whose inhabitants are green.
