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.

Hilly Field Copse is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Sussex, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, this enchanting forest is known for its diverse flora and fauna, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers.

The copse is characterized by its rolling hills, which give it its name. These hills provide stunning views of the surrounding countryside and add to the overall charm of the woodland. The forest is predominantly composed of a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees, including oak, beech, birch, and pine. The canopy formed by these towering trees creates a cool and shaded environment, even during the warm summer months.

Walking through Hilly Field Copse, visitors will encounter a rich tapestry of plant life, including wildflowers, ferns, and mosses that carpet the forest floor. The woodland is also home to a variety of wildlife, such as deer, foxes, badgers, and a wide range of bird species. Nature lovers can often spot woodpeckers, owls, and numerous songbirds flitting amongst the branches.

Several well-maintained trails wind their way through Hilly Field Copse, offering visitors the opportunity to explore the forest at their own pace. These paths provide access to the different areas of the woodland, and some lead to small clearings where picnicking or resting can be enjoyed.

Hilly Field Copse is a true gem in the Sussex countryside, offering a tranquil and immersive experience in nature for all who visit.

Trees on a woodland ridge - and vapour trails The sky was full of these vapour trails. Of all the photos I took today, this one probably shows the greatest number of trails.
