Dell Copse is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Hampshire, England. It is situated near the village of Binsted, approximately three miles east of Alton. Covering an area of around 50 acres, Dell Copse is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful retreat.

The woodland consists mainly of broadleaf trees such as oak, beech, and hornbeam, along with a variety of wildflowers and ferns that thrive in the understory. The dense canopy provided by the towering trees creates a cool and shaded environment, perfect for a leisurely stroll on a hot summer's day.

Dell Copse is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including deer, badgers, foxes, and a multitude of bird species. The woodland provides a rich habitat for these creatures, offering both food and shelter. Birdwatchers can often spot woodpeckers, jays, and various songbirds flitting among the branches.

Visitors to Dell Copse can explore the woodland via a network of well-maintained footpaths that meander through the trees. These paths lead to various points of interest, including a small pond and a clearing that offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

The woodland is managed by a local conservation group, who strive to preserve its natural beauty and protect the delicate ecosystem within. As a result, Dell Copse remains a tranquil and unspoiled haven, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and scents of nature.
