Peak's Coppice is a picturesque wood located in Gloucestershire, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, the forest is nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, offering visitors a serene and tranquil escape from the bustling city life.

The woodland is primarily composed of native broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, ash, and birch, which create a rich and diverse ecosystem. The dense canopy formed by these trees provides shade and shelter for a variety of wildlife, such as deer, foxes, badgers, and a plethora of bird species.

Walking through Peak's Coppice, one can find a network of well-maintained footpaths that wind their way through the forest. These paths offer visitors the opportunity to explore the woodlands and appreciate its natural beauty up close. The forest floor is adorned with a vibrant carpet of wildflowers during the spring and summer months, adding a splash of color to the green surroundings.

The wood is also home to a small pond, where visitors can observe ducks and other waterfowl paddling peacefully. This water source attracts a range of amphibian and insect species, further enriching the biodiversity of the area.

Peak's Coppice is a popular destination for nature lovers, hikers, and birdwatchers, who can indulge in the beauty of the woodland and its surrounding countryside. The site is well-maintained and managed by local authorities to ensure its preservation for future generations to enjoy.
