Bushycopse Shaw is a picturesque woodland area located in Oxfordshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 500 acres, it is situated in the heart of the county, near the village of Wood. The shaw, which is a local term for a small wood or forest, is renowned for its natural beauty and diverse ecosystem.

This woodland is a haven for wildlife, with a rich variety of flora and fauna. The canopy is predominantly composed of oak and beech trees, interspersed with occasional birch and hazel trees. These ancient trees provide a valuable habitat for many species, including birds, small mammals, and insects.

Walking through Bushycopse Shaw, visitors will be captivated by the tranquil atmosphere and the gentle rustling of leaves underfoot. The forest floor is carpeted with a vibrant array of wildflowers, such as bluebells, primroses, and wood anemones, adding a splash of color to the green landscape.

The shaw is intersected by several well-maintained trails, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their own pace. These paths wind through the woodland, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and opportunities for birdwatching and photography.

Bushycopse Shaw, with its untouched natural charm, is not only a popular destination for nature enthusiasts but also serves as an important conservation site.

Milestone off the road This was a hard one to spot as it is below the road level. It looks eroded where the places and miles should be but the reason for this was because they were removed in World War two. It should say Henley 4, London 39 and Oxford 19.

The Fox at Bix This used to be the Fox Public house; though I never have been in the place it always looked popular when I went past. It shut many years ago as can be seen in the link. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/36346">SU7285 : The Fox at Bix</a>

Milestone by the limit Another of the London Road Milestones which is just outside Bix village near Henley. This one is another that was defaced of its mileage and towns during the Second World War. It would have had Oxford 20, Abingdon 18, London 38, Henley 3 on it.
