Hazel Copse is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Surrey, England. Situated in the southeastern part of the county, it covers an area of approximately 50 acres. The copse is renowned for its dense growth of hazel trees, which give it its distinctive name.

The woodland is a haven for nature enthusiasts and offers a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The hazel trees dominate the landscape, creating a dense canopy that provides shade and shelter for a variety of wildlife. The copse is also home to a diverse range of flora, including bluebells, wood anemones, and wild garlic, which carpet the forest floor in the springtime.

Several walking trails wind their way through Hazel Copse, allowing visitors to explore the woodland at their own pace. These paths offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside, with glimpses of rolling hills and meandering streams. The copse is especially popular among birdwatchers, as it attracts a wide array of bird species, including woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds.

Hazel Copse is managed by the local council, who strive to maintain its natural beauty and protect its wildlife. They have implemented conservation measures to ensure the long-term sustainability of the woodland. The copse is open to the public year-round, providing a tranquil escape for nature lovers and an opportunity to connect with the beauty of Surrey's natural heritage.

Chippie in Portsmouth Road Fish and chip shops are a great British institution. In the 16th century Iberian refugees in London began selling white fish fried in a thin coat of flour. Friday became a particularly busy day as both Jews and Catholics wanted cooked fish that day. A hundred years later, Hugenots brought their fondness for fried potato to the capital. Joseph Malin opened the first chippy in Bethnal Green during the 1860s. Today there are more than 10,000 in England alone.

One of Eashing Bridges There are two 13th century bridges over the two routes of the River Wey here, with a causeway between them. Together they are a grade I listed building and scheduled Ancient Monument. This is the eastern bridge of three arches, the other has four.

Abbey Mill Business Park On the site of Eashing Mill, although the buildings do not seem to correspond very well with the original paper (later woollen) mill which had this entire area roofed over.
