Mainly broadleaved deciduous woodland comprising beech (Fagus sylvatica) and Scarlet oak (Quercus coccinea) with some less common tree species including Indian horse chestnut (aesculus indica), maidenhair tree (gingko biloba), copper beech (fagus sylvatica var. purpurea) and hybrid southern beech (nothofagus procera/Antarctica).
Precise Location: Garey-ny-Cloie is situated on the A40 route between St John's village and Foxdale, approximately half a mile south of Tynwald Hill.
Parking: Car parking facilities are available at Garey-ny-Cloie or across the road at St John's Sawmill ///dishing.freedmen.retract
