Old Erringham Combe ({{Gbmappingsmall|TQ 205 081}}) is an old-fashioned mosaic of habitats, making it a great refuge for Downland wildlife. The south-facing bank is the hottest place, but below it there are willows and a tiny tongue of wet grassland where [[lesser marsh grasshopper]], [[autumn lady's-tresses]] orchid, [[bastard toadflax]], rockrose, [[Betonica officinalis|betony]], [[wild thyme]], and other herbs grow.<ref name=":0" /><sup>:205</sup>

Summer butterflies in the area include [[wall brown]] and [[clouded yellow]], and day-flying moths like [[yellow belle]], [[Dusky Sallow|dusky sallow]], [[common carpet]], and [[grass moths]] enjoy the drying grassland. The rare [[Monacha cartusiana|Carthusian snail]] (''Monacha cartusiana)'' still exists in this combe, possibly due to centuries of cattle grazing.<ref name=":0" /><sup>:205</sup>

Old Erringham Shaw is a tangled wood of [[sycamore]], [[ash (tree)|ash]], [[elm]], and thorn. It's more open at the northern end facing the combe, where the remains of four big old broken [[beech]]es and lots of [[may blossom]] make it a good place for insects.<ref name=":0" /><sup>:205</sup>
