The Smith's Wood estate is also site to the ancient 'Smith's Wood'- a historical woodland which was once part of the forest of Arden. It officially became a nature reserve in 2004 and is going to be enhanced as part of the regeneration project along with other green spaces.Many flats and houses are being demolished and rebuilt in Smith's Wood as part of the regeneration of North Solihull. New features will include a high street, a community hub, and a new private housing estate on Burton's Farm Park. The Woodlands campus of Solihull college was completed in 2006.

The stretch of the A452 (Collector Road) that runs alongside Smith's Wood had one of the highest accident rates in the country, but this is now safer as the speed limit has been reduced.
