Lawless Cross Coppice is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Shropshire, England. Situated on the outskirts of the village of Lawley, this tranquil forest covers an area of approximately 50 acres.

The coppice is predominantly composed of broadleaf trees, including oak, ash, and beech, which create a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. These trees provide a habitat for numerous species of birds, mammals, and insects, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers.

The woodland is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths, which offer visitors the opportunity to explore and appreciate its natural beauty. The paths wind through the forest, leading visitors past ancient trees, babbling brooks, and wildflower meadows. Along the way, there are several benches strategically placed, providing perfect spots for rest and contemplation.

Lawless Cross Coppice is managed by a local conservation group, which ensures the preservation of its natural resources and promotes sustainable practices. Regular tree planting initiatives are organized to maintain the woodland's biodiversity and encourage the growth of new trees.

The coppice is open to the public year-round, offering a variety of recreational activities such as walking, birdwatching, and photography. It is a popular destination for families and individuals seeking a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Lawless Cross Coppice is a true gem in Shropshire's natural landscape, providing a serene and enchanting environment for all who visit.

Wheat on the floodplain of the Severn Spring-sprouting wheat in a field just north of the river; there is a footpath marked across these fields - it doesn&#039;t exist, and neither do any of the stiles or bridges.
