Due to how close it is to the river, the land hosts a varied selection of wildlife and has single bank fishing rights on the River Severn along its western boundary.

Mature oak trees on the land were originally planted as a drive from Welshpool to Leighton Hall and there is still a public footpath along the route.

Although subject to flooding during periods of high rainfall, there are sufficient areas of land for animals to graze until the water level subsides.
