Long Copse is a picturesque wood located in the county of Wiltshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 10 hectares, it is situated near the village of Brinkworth, just a few miles north of the bustling town of Chippenham. The copse is a part of the larger Brinkworth Forest, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

Long Copse is characterized by its dense woodland, comprising a variety of native tree species such as oak, beech, and birch. The trees form a lush canopy, providing shelter and habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including deer, squirrels, and a plethora of bird species. The forest floor is carpeted with an array of vibrant wildflowers, ferns, and mosses, creating a beautiful and tranquil environment.

The copse is crisscrossed by a network of footpaths, allowing visitors to explore its natural beauty. These paths wind through the trees, offering glimpses of sunlight filtering through the foliage, and leading to small clearings where one can rest and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The wood is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, walkers, and photographers, providing an opportunity to connect with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Long Copse is managed by the local authorities, who strive to maintain its ecological integrity while also ensuring public access and enjoyment. Conservation efforts are in place to protect the copse and its inhabitants, and visitors are encouraged to respect the environment and adhere to designated trails.
