Littley Coppice is a small woodland located in Worcestershire, England. Spanning approximately 10 acres, it is situated near the village of Littley Green, just a few miles outside the town of Droitwich Spa. The coppice is part of a larger area of mixed woodland that covers the gently rolling countryside of the region.

The woodland is predominantly made up of various species of native trees, including oak, ash, beech, and birch. The dense canopy created by these trees provides a habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including woodland birds, squirrels, and various insects. The forest floor is covered with a thick carpet of moss, ferns, and wildflowers, adding to the natural beauty of the area.

Littley Coppice is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and walkers, who enjoy exploring the well-maintained footpaths that crisscross the woodland. These paths provide access to the heart of the coppice, where visitors can immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature and admire the stunning scenery. The woodland is particularly enchanting during the spring and summer months when the trees are in full leaf and the air is filled with the songs of birds.

In addition to its recreational value, Littley Coppice also plays an important ecological role. The woodland helps to improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. It also acts as a natural water filter, purifying rainwater and preventing soil erosion. The diverse range of plant species in the coppice provides a valuable food source for local wildlife, contributing to the overall biodiversity of the area.

Overall, Littley Coppice is a picturesque woodland that offers both beauty and ecological significance to the Worcestershire countryside.

Bilberry patches on the Malvern Hills On the eastern side of Worcestershire Beacon large near-circular patches of bilberry plants are expanding year by year.
These stand out as lighter green patches at this time of the year when the light is right.
The berries are often smaller than those commercially farmed, but are free and in a wonderful setting.
Late August to late September are good times to get one&#039;s hands stained blue.

One of the highest springs on the Malvern Hills and very close to Prospect Point.
The water is in a cleft in the rock, but is obvious from the wetness on the hillside and the path just below it.

Old gas lamppost On the twisty little path that runs close to the twisty little road up to St. Ann&#039;s Well.
Quite a few gas lamps are still running in Malvern and there is hope that they will be fitted with cheaper, brighter, more reliant burners.
English Heritage listed the lamps, but I wonder if a few such as this one missed the survey.
