The coppice, which refers to a woodland area specifically managed for the production of timber, has a rich history dating back centuries.

The forest is predominantly made up of broadleaf trees such as oak, ash, beech, and birch, creating a diverse and vibrant canopy. These towering trees provide shelter and habitat for a plethora of wildlife species, including birds, mammals, and insects. The forest floor is adorned with a tapestry of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses, creating a picturesque landscape.

Westwood Coppice is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The forest offers a network of well-maintained trails, allowing visitors to explore the woodland and discover its hidden treasures.

In addition to its natural beauty, Westwood Coppice is also of historical significance. The woodland has played a vital role in providing timber for various industries throughout the centuries. The management of the coppice involves a sustainable practice known as coppicing, where certain trees are cut down periodically to stimulate new growth. This traditional forestry technique has been employed in the woodland for generations.

Overall, Westwood Coppice is a captivating destination that showcases the beauty of Warwickshire's natural landscapes. Its rich biodiversity, historical significance, and recreational opportunities make it a must-visit location for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility amid the hustle and bustle of modern life.
