The Pondhead Inclosure lies immediately SE of Lydhurst, and still contains some of the oak and beech trees planted at the beginning of the 19th century. Some coppicing still takes place in this inclosure, with hazel trees being cut to the ground so that they regrow with several stems. It was originally performed to obtain wood for a wide range of products but is now carried out as a forestry management tool for the benefit of wildlife.
