Square Covert is a picturesque woodland located in Oxfordshire, England. Situated in the heart of the county, this tranquil forest covers an area of approximately 50 acres. It is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and birdwatchers.

The woodland is predominantly composed of a variety of deciduous trees, including oak, beech, and birch. These trees create a rich canopy, providing shade and shelter for a diverse range of flora and fauna. In spring, the forest floor is carpeted with bluebells, creating a stunning display of color.

Square Covert is home to an abundance of wildlife. Bird species such as woodpeckers, thrushes, and owls can be spotted among the treetops. Squirrels dart through the branches, while rabbits and deer can be occasionally seen grazing in the open meadows within the forest.

Several well-marked trails wind their way through Square Covert, offering visitors the opportunity to explore the woodland at their own pace. These paths lead to hidden clearings, babbling brooks, and small ponds, adding to the enchanting atmosphere of the forest.

The forest is managed by the local authorities, who ensure its conservation and protection. It is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its biodiversity and importance as a habitat for various rare species.

Square Covert is a true haven for those seeking solace in nature. Its peaceful ambiance, stunning scenery, and diverse wildlife make it a must-visit destination for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
