Capstone Farm Country Park covers 114 hectares of former farmland set on the North Downs. There is a variety of habitats within the park, including ancient woodlands, old orchards, a freshwater lake, meadows and hedgerows. The park is typical of the rolling landscape of the North Downs and many of the woods and hedgerows are hundreds of years old.
The woodlands are managed in the traditional manner of coppicing. Examples of this can be seen throughout the park, in particular at Drow Hill Wood. Coppicing creates a wide diversity of age in the trees and encourages a greater variety of wildlife to inhabit the wood. The grasslands are still farmed with cattle grazing some fields.
Hay meadows are cut in summer once the wealth of meadow wildflowers has set seed.
