Little Hay Copse is a small woodland located in the county of Northamptonshire, England. Spanning an area of approximately 10 acres, this copse is nestled in the picturesque countryside, offering a serene and peaceful environment for visitors.

The copse primarily consists of native deciduous trees, such as oak, ash, and beech, which create a dense canopy, allowing only dappled sunlight to filter through. These trees provide a habitat for a variety of bird species, including woodpeckers and songbirds, making it a popular spot for birdwatching enthusiasts.

The forest floor is covered in a rich carpet of mosses, ferns, and wildflowers, adding to the copse's natural beauty. There are also several woodland trails that wind through the trees, allowing visitors to explore and discover the copse's hidden treasures.

Little Hay Copse is managed by the local conservation authority, who actively work to preserve and enhance the copse's biodiversity. They regularly conduct tree maintenance, ensuring the health and longevity of the woodland.

The copse is open to the public throughout the year, and visitors can enjoy activities such as walking, picnicking, and nature photography. It serves as an oasis of tranquility, providing an escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

Little Hay Copse is a true gem of Northamptonshire, offering a chance to immerse oneself in the beauty of nature and experience the wonders of a peaceful woodland environment.
