The copse is situated on the outskirts of a small village, surrounded by rolling hills and countryside, offering a tranquil escape for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The woodland is primarily composed of native tree species such as oak, beech, and birch, which create a dense canopy overhead.

In spring, the copse is adorned with vibrant wildflowers, adding a burst of color to the green landscape.

The woodland is crisscrossed with walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its hidden corners and discover its hidden gems. These trails meander through the forest, leading to small clearings and viewpoints, offering stunning vistas of the surrounding countryside.
