In 2001/2 the Forestry Commission acquired this area surrounding the ancient woodlands of Warwick and White Post Woods and has planted parts of it with trees. Open meadows have been left between the woods and north of White Post Wood and natural regeneration from the woods is being encouraged. Running Water Brook crosses the site and a small wetland has been created nearby.
The name Cely refers to an Essex merchant family that owned land here in the Middle Ages.
