For visitors looking to explore the copse, there are several well-maintained walking trails that wind through the woodland. These trails offer a chance to experience the tranquility of the copse and observe the wildlife up close. The copse is also a popular spot for picnics and family outings, with designated areas for relaxation and recreation.
