Square Coppice is a wood located in Worcestershire, England. It covers an area of approximately 20 acres and is situated in the heart of the county, near the village of Ombersley. The wood is part of a larger forested area known as the Worcestershire Forest.

Square Coppice is predominantly composed of broadleaf trees, including oak, birch, and ash. These trees provide a dense canopy that creates a tranquil and shaded environment within the wood. Beneath the trees, the forest floor is carpeted with a variety of woodland plants, such as bluebells, primroses, and ferns, adding to the natural beauty of the area.

The wood is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore its different areas and enjoy the peacefulness of the surroundings. These paths lead to various viewpoints, providing stunning vistas of the Worcestershire countryside.

Square Coppice is not only a haven for nature lovers but also a habitat for a diverse range of wildlife. The wood is home to numerous bird species, including woodpeckers, thrushes, and owls, which can often be spotted and heard while walking through the wood. Squirrels and rabbits are also commonly seen, and if lucky, visitors may even catch a glimpse of a deer or fox.

Overall, Square Coppice is a picturesque woodland that offers a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Its natural beauty, diverse plant and animal life, and well-maintained footpaths make it a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking to immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature.

Toposcope, Beacon Hill The toposcope on Beacon Hill (298m) was constructed in 1923 after Beacon Hill was donated to the City of Birmingham by the Cadbury family. The toposcope was restored in 1988. From this viewpoint on a good day 13 old counties can be seen. Going east from the summit there is no higher land at the same latitude until you reach the Ural Mountains in Russia (I've checked this using Google Earth).
