Dagnam Park forms part of The Manor Nature Reserve which also includes Fir Wood, Duck Wood and Hatters Wood. The site includes almost twenty hectares of colourful wildflower meadows, as well as over eight hectares of ancient coppiced woodland, ponds, scrub and veteran trees. Dagnam Park, formally laid out by the well-known landscape architect Humphrey Repton, preserves its original 18th century boundaries together with a number of original landscape features including copses, ponds and specimen trees. There is also a scheduled ancient monument, Cockerell's moated site (of Dagnam Park Farm), in the south of the site. The nature conservation interest in Dagnam Park, Hatters Wood and Fir Wood is recognised in its designation by the Greater London Authority as a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation.
