Bridleway across a field The right of way has been kept clear of wheat, but the ground was rock hard and very rutted. Isn't a full suspension mountain bike a wondrous thing?

Newfoundwell Coppice is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Shropshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, this ancient coppice is a haven for nature enthusiasts and offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

The woodland is dominated by a diverse mix of tree species, including oak, birch, ash, and hazel. These trees, some of which are several hundred years old, create a dense canopy that filters the sunlight and creates a cool and serene atmosphere within the coppice. The forest floor is covered with a lush carpet of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses, adding to the enchanting ambiance of the woodland.

Newfoundwell Coppice is also home to a variety of wildlife. Birdwatchers can spot a range of species, including woodpeckers, nuthatches, and tawny owls. Squirrels scurry through the trees, and if lucky, visitors may catch a glimpse of elusive deer or foxes that call this woodland their home.

The coppice has several well-maintained trails that wind their way through the forest, allowing visitors to explore its hidden treasures. These paths lead to a small pond, which attracts a myriad of aquatic creatures and provides a serene spot for contemplation.

Newfoundwell Coppice is a popular destination for nature walks, picnics, and photography. Its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere make it an ideal place for people of all ages to escape the stresses of everyday life and immerse themselves in the wonders of the natural world.
