Batt's Copse is a serene and picturesque woodland located in Hampshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, this enchanting forest is a haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The copse is predominantly composed of a mixture of deciduous and coniferous trees, creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. Towering oak, beech, and ash trees provide a majestic canopy, while spruces and firs offer a contrasting green backdrop. This blend of tree species creates a stunning tapestry of colors throughout the year, with vibrant hues in the autumn and lush greenery in the summer months.

Walking through Batt's Copse, visitors will discover a network of well-maintained trails that wind their way through the forest. These paths offer the perfect opportunity to explore the woodland's hidden treasures, including a variety of native flora and fauna. Bluebells carpet the forest floor in the spring, while foxgloves and primroses add splashes of color to the undergrowth.

The copse is also home to a rich assortment of wildlife. Deer, badgers, and foxes can often be spotted roaming the forest, while a chorus of bird songs fills the air. Birdwatchers may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the elusive tawny owl or the colorful European goldfinch.

Batt's Copse provides a tranquil retreat for visitors looking to immerse themselves in nature's beauty. Its serene atmosphere, diverse vegetation, and abundant wildlife make it a truly captivating destination for all lovers of the outdoors.

The route of Portway, the old Roman road from Calleva (Silchester) to Old Sarum (Salisbury), and the South Coast. It runs in a straight line to the right of the wood which can be seen to the left of the image, almost directly above the middle of the gates.
