A ten-minute walk down a track from the Serre Mailly-Maillet Road. Visitors can sometimes see iron harvests of shells, left by farmers, where the track leaves the road.
The present wood was once three copses, nicknamed Mark, Luke and John. The wood still reveals shell-holes and the course of trenches. Matthew has been felled but its location remains visible south of the present wood.
A line of small cemeteries in the fields east of Serre, containing dead who were buried close to where they lay, roughly marks the position of the German wire. Dead collected later on lie in two huge 'concentration cemeteries' on the Serre road.
