Stubby Copse Inclosure is a picturesque woodland located in Hampshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The woodland is characterized by its dense, mature trees, predominantly consisting of oak and beech. These towering trees create a majestic canopy, providing shade and shelter for a diverse range of wildlife.

The forest floor is blanketed with a lush carpet of ferns, bluebells, and wildflowers, adding a burst of vibrant colors to the landscape. The inclosure is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore the woodland at their own pace. These paths lead to hidden glades, tranquil ponds, and babbling brooks, offering peaceful spots for picnics or quiet contemplation.

Stubby Copse Inclosure is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. Birdwatchers can spot species such as woodpeckers, nuthatches, and owls, while the observant observer may catch a glimpse of deer, foxes, and badgers. The woodland also boasts a rich insect population, with butterflies, bees, and beetles flitting among the wildflowers.

The inclosure is managed by local authorities, who ensure that the woodland remains a haven for both wildlife and visitors. Conservation efforts are in place to preserve the natural beauty of Stubby Copse Inclosure, with tree planting initiatives and habitat restoration projects. The woodland is open year-round, providing a peaceful escape for those seeking solace in nature's embrace.

Gates between the Inclosures It may look like one big mass of trees but the various areas of the forest are kept separate from each other by a lot of fences. Jim Champion in his picture <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/43062">SU3204 : Driftway between Parkhill Inclosure and Stubby Copse Inclosure, New Forest</a> explains that wide tracks like this are called driftways and are for moving animals around from one grazing area to another without them wandering off into the forest.
