Boundless Copse is a picturesque woodland located in Surrey, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 hectares, the copse is known for its dense, ancient trees and rich biodiversity. The woodland is characterized by a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, including oak, beech, birch, and pine, creating a diverse and vibrant ecosystem.

The copse is a haven for wildlife, providing a habitat for a wide range of species. It is home to numerous bird species, such as woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds, which can be heard singing their melodious tunes throughout the year. Small mammals like foxes, badgers, and squirrels can also be found scurrying through the undergrowth, while the occasional deer can be spotted grazing peacefully in the open glades.

The woodland offers a variety of walking trails and paths, allowing visitors to explore and connect with nature. These pathways wind through the copse, offering glimpses of enchanting wildflowers, ferns, and moss-covered rocks. In spring, the forest floor is carpeted with bluebells, creating a breathtaking sight.

Boundless Copse is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers alike. Its serene and tranquil atmosphere, coupled with its natural beauty, make it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether one is seeking solitude, a peaceful stroll, or a chance to immerse themselves in the wonders of nature, Boundless Copse offers an idyllic setting for exploration and relaxation.

Looking westwards along London Road Without doubt the biggest event in Hindhead's history was the building of the Hindhead Tunnel, before which this was a notorious bottleneck on the A3. Without doubt the biggest event in the UK was the death of Queen Elizabeth II after 70 years on the throne; although new Prime Minister Liz Truss and her chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng ran it close by introducing a "fiscal event" that saw markets react negatively and wipe out any benefits. On the world stage, Vladimir Putin held spurious referendums in 4 areas he had won from Ukraine, and announced that these would now be part of Russia in perpetuity. The Italians and Swedes chose parties of the right to form their next governments. And in outer space, NASA crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid to see if this could be done if it were ever really needed.
