Birches Coppice is a picturesque woodland located in Worcestershire, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, it is known for its dense growth of birch trees, which lend the area its name. The coppice itself is situated on the outskirts of the village, nestled between rolling hills and meandering streams.

The woodland is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts due to its stunning natural beauty and abundant wildlife. The tall, slender birch trees dominate the landscape, their silver-white trunks contrasting against the lush green foliage. The dappled sunlight filters through the canopy, creating a magical atmosphere, particularly in the early morning or late afternoon.

Visitors to Birches Coppice can enjoy a range of activities, including walking, hiking, and birdwatching. There are several well-maintained trails that wind through the woodland, offering opportunities to explore its diverse flora and fauna. The forest floor is carpeted with wildflowers in the spring, while in the autumn, the falling leaves create a vibrant tapestry of colors.

The woodland is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and numerous bird species. Birdwatchers can spot woodpeckers, owls, and other woodland birds, while nature enthusiasts can observe the delicate ecosystem at work.

Birches Coppice is a true haven for those seeking a peaceful retreat in nature. Its idyllic setting, diverse wildlife, and tranquil atmosphere make it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists alike.

Suckley school & church A long-lens shot of the school (centre) with Suckley Church to its right.  Unlike the "classic" English village, Suckley has no obvious centre.  The school and church stand in an isolated position with a farm and a few houses as neighbours.

Changing Rooms, Suckley Playing Fields Suckley's community playing fields are poorly situated in relation to most of the village and accessible only down a narrow lane, forbidding to most potential users.  A pity as the facility features both a full-sized grass football pitch, an all-weather 5-a-side area and also some limited facilities for younger children.
