Square Copse is a picturesque woodland located in Sussex, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, this enchanting forest is characterized by its dense canopy of trees and diverse wildlife. The copse is predominantly composed of native deciduous species, including oak, ash, beech, and birch, which create a vibrant and ever-changing landscape throughout the seasons.

The forest floor is adorned with a rich carpet of ferns, mosses, and wildflowers, adding to the natural beauty and providing a habitat for a variety of small mammals, birds, and insects. The abundance of flora in Square Copse makes it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts and photographers.

Visitors to Square Copse can explore the forest through a network of well-maintained footpaths, which wind their way through the trees and offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The tranquility of the woodland invites visitors to immerse themselves in nature, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

In addition to its natural beauty, Square Copse also holds historical significance. The forest has been a popular recreational area for locals and visitors alike for centuries, with evidence of human habitation dating back to ancient times. Ruins of old structures, such as a forgotten cottage and remnants of an ancient boundary wall, can still be discovered within the woodland, adding an air of mystery to the site.

Square Copse is a true gem of Sussex, offering a haven of serenity and natural wonder for all who venture into its embrace.

Main road style pub in the middle of nowhere There's a story here. This ultra quiet road in Milland was going to be part of the proposed Petersfield by-pass; and the brewers put it up in anticipation of a roaring passing trade. However, the by-pass was re-routed to go the other side of Peef: doh!
