New Lipchis Way I've just realised where the "New Lipchis Way" gets its name. It's a 39-mile walk from Liphook (Lip) to Chichester Harbour (chis). There's an excellent view to the east from the bank on the left of the path.

Ash Copse is a charming woodland located in Sussex, England. Spanning over 100 acres, it is known for its dense growth of ash trees, which lend the copse its name. The forest is situated in a picturesque area, surrounded by rolling hills and meadows, creating a tranquil and idyllic atmosphere.

The copse boasts a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts. The ash trees dominate the landscape, their tall trunks reaching towards the sky, and their delicate leaves providing a beautiful canopy during the summer months. Beneath the trees, a lush undergrowth thrives, consisting of ferns, bluebells, and wildflowers, adding vibrant splashes of color to the woodland floor.

The forest is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and a plethora of bird species. The peaceful environment and abundance of natural resources make Ash Copse an ideal habitat for these creatures. Birdsong can often be heard echoing through the trees, providing a soothing soundtrack to visitors' walks.

Ash Copse offers a range of walking trails, allowing visitors to explore the woodland at their own pace. These paths wind through the forest, providing glimpses of the surrounding countryside and offering opportunities for peaceful contemplation. The copse is also a popular spot for picnics and family outings, with designated picnic areas and open spaces for children to play.

Overall, Ash Copse is a stunning example of the natural beauty that Sussex has to offer. Its rich biodiversity, serene atmosphere, and scenic surroundings make it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat.

Sunken Path Passing through the area of woodland known as The Leithe the public footpath encounters a short muddy sunken section. The only viable option to avoid this is to climb up the bank on the left and walk along a very narrow section of the bank, passing between the two trees ahead before regaining the footpath.
