Cockshot Coppice

A diverted footpath The marked path to the east of this point has been extinguished due to an expansion of the clay workings/gravel pit further east, and the path now comes down this field into the valley of the Dean Brook.

Cockshot Coppice is a picturesque woodland area located in the county of Shropshire, England. Situated near the village of Cockshutt, this charming forest covers an approximate area of 20 acres and is known for its natural beauty and diverse flora and fauna.

The coppice is predominantly composed of broadleaf trees, including oak, ash, and beech, which create a dense canopy that provides shade and shelter for a variety of woodland creatures. The forest floor is covered with a rich carpet of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses, adding to the enchanting atmosphere of the place.

Visitors to Cockshot Coppice can explore its well-maintained trails, which meander through the woods, offering an opportunity to immerse oneself in nature and enjoy the peaceful ambiance. The forest is a popular spot for walking, jogging, and birdwatching, with numerous species of birds, such as woodpeckers, tits, and thrushes, making it their home.

In addition to its natural beauty, Cockshot Coppice also holds historical significance. The woodland was traditionally managed as a coppice, a traditional method of woodland management, where trees are periodically cut back to ground level to encourage new growth. This practice provided a sustainable source of timber, firewood, and charcoal for local communities.

Overall, Cockshot Coppice in Shropshire offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, providing a haven for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and those seeking solace in the beauty of the natural world.

Deserted cottage at Darley There's not much but luck holding this place together - the roof's leaking and all the windows and doors are long gone. It's basically just a sheep shelter, and has never had gas, electricity, a mains water supply or vehicular access.

Abandoned farm at Darley This substantial farmhouse, with a scattering of outhouses nearby, lies abandoned in the woods near Darley. It looks in reasonable condition from a distance, but once close up, the cracks appear, and some of them are big enough to let daylight right through walls.
