The woodland is primarily comprised of a mixture of broadleaf trees, such as oak, beech, and ash, which create a rich and diverse ecosystem. These majestic trees provide a dense canopy, allowing only dappled sunlight to filter through, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The forest floor is adorned with a carpet of wildflowers, including bluebells, primroses, and wood anemones, adding bursts of color to the green landscape.

Birdwatchers can spot rare species such as the lesser spotted woodpecker, tawny owl, and various warblers. The forest is also teeming with small mammals, including foxes, badgers, and squirrels, which can often be spotted scurrying amongst the undergrowth.

The woodland is intersected by a network of well-maintained walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their own pace. These paths lead to hidden clearings and secluded ponds, providing opportunities for peaceful contemplation and a chance to connect with nature.

Brickkiln Coppice is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as hiking, birdwatching, and photography. It offers a tranquil and idyllic setting for those seeking a peaceful retreat amidst the natural beauty of Dorset.

Bridleway, Brockhampton Green Bridleway S10 15 leaves the road shown in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7520093">ST7106 : Junction near Brockhampton Green</a> and very soon the bridleway takes a sharp left turn where a footpath continues north-eastwards. But there's bad news here for anyone planning to follow the footpath; the white notice attached to the post reads "NO BRIDGE ON PATH AHEAD"; that will be over the River Lydden. 13 months later as I write, I doubt if the situation has improved.
