Lord's Coppice is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Staffordshire, England. Situated near the village of Alrewas, it covers an area of approximately 50 hectares and is known for its lush greenery and diverse range of flora and fauna.

The woodland is primarily composed of deciduous trees, including oak, birch, and beech, which contribute to the vibrant colors that can be seen throughout the year. In spring, the forest floor is carpeted with bluebells, creating a stunning display of color and fragrance. The canopy of trees provides a sheltered habitat for a variety of bird species, such as woodpeckers, thrushes, and owls.

Lord's Coppice offers several walking trails that wind through the woodland, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the tranquil surroundings. These pathways are well-maintained and suitable for all fitness levels, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers, families, and avid walkers.

In addition to its natural beauty, Lord's Coppice also has historical significance. The woodland has been managed for centuries and was once part of an estate owned by a local lord. The coppicing technique, where trees are periodically cut back to encourage new growth, has been practiced here for generations, contributing to the diverse ecosystem found within the woodland.

Overall, Lord's Coppice is a captivating woodland that offers visitors the opportunity to reconnect with nature, explore its rich biodiversity, and enjoy the peace and tranquility it provides.

In Broadmoor Wood Well-named: I felt ready for Broadmoor after blundering about in bouldery bracken trying to find the footpath to Lodgedale. I was reassured to find this sign indicating that (despite appearances) I was still in the right place. The path is fairly well signposted, but obviously not well used. I got utterly lost in the same wood a bit later, near the Raddle Inn in Hollington.

Dry-stone walling, Staffordshire style This tendency to lay courses of stones at a shallow diagonal seems to be a local tradition, as I saw several walls in the area with a similar style. Earlier in my walk I said good morning to someone dry-stone-walling as I passed by, but he appeared to be laying his courses conventionally (i.e. horizontally).
