The open nature of the wood makes walking through it easy, irrespective of paths or animal tracks.

Braelangwell Wood SSSI is important for the mosaic of woodland and flush habitats. The presence of calcareous springs and their associated vegetation and fauna in such an unmodified form and extent is unusual in Easter Ross and Cromarty.
The site is an intimate mixture of woodland and flush over soils derived from Old Red Sandstone rocks. The site is notified for woodland, springs, flies and snails. The latter interest was not fully recognised when the site was notified in 1985.
