Wallishill Copse is a picturesque woodland located in Hampshire, England. It covers an area of approximately 50 acres and is renowned for its natural beauty and diverse ecosystem. The copse is situated on a gently sloping hillside, providing visitors with stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

The woodland is predominantly made up of native tree species such as oak, beech, and birch, which create a dense canopy overhead. These trees provide a haven for various wildlife species, including birds, squirrels, and deer, making it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts.

Walking through Wallishill Copse, one can find a network of well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore the woodland at their own pace. The paths wind through the trees, taking visitors past ancient tree stumps, wildflowers, and small streams. There are also several seating areas strategically placed throughout the copse, providing a peaceful spot to rest and take in the surroundings.

The woodland is particularly vibrant during springtime when the forest floor is carpeted with bluebells and other wildflowers. This creates a colorful and enchanting atmosphere, attracting many visitors who come to witness this natural spectacle.

Wallishill Copse is managed by the local authorities, ensuring its preservation and conservation. The woodland is open to the public year-round, free of charge, and offers a tranquil retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The beach, Osborne House Quite a few visitors to Osborne House had made it over to the beach on this day of rather indifferent weather.  There is a small beach cafe, and someone was heard complaining that they had run out of Victoria sponge cake. After all, where could you feel confident of being able to buy a slice of Victoria sponge, if not at the cafe at Osborne House?
