Furze Field Copse

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.

Furze Field Copse, located in Sussex, England, is a picturesque wooded area that spans across a vast expanse of land. Set amidst the rolling hills and lush green meadows, this copse is a haven for nature enthusiasts and avid hikers alike.

The woodland is primarily dominated by a diverse range of deciduous and coniferous trees, including oak, beech, pine, and ash. These majestic trees create a dense canopy, providing shade and shelter for a variety of wildlife species. The forest floor is covered in a thick layer of leaf litter, creating a natural carpet of vibrant hues during autumn.

Walking through the copse, one can encounter an abundance of flora and fauna. Bluebells, primroses, and foxgloves blanket the forest floor during spring, adding a burst of color to the landscape. Squirrels dart between branches, while woodpeckers drum their beaks against tree trunks. Foxes, deer, and numerous bird species can also be spotted in their natural habitat.

Trails wind their way through the copse, offering visitors the opportunity to explore its beauty. These paths meander through the trees, leading to hidden clearings and secluded spots where one can sit and enjoy the tranquility of nature. The copse also features a small stream that meanders through its heart, providing a soothing soundtrack to the surrounding serenity.

Furze Field Copse is not only a haven for wildlife but also a place of solace for those seeking respite from the bustling city life. It serves as a reminder of the natural beauty that Sussex has to offer, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the stunning scenery and draw inspiration from the wonders of nature.
