Vann Copse is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Surrey, England. Situated near the village of Fernhurst, this enchanting forest covers an area of approximately 100 acres and is renowned for its natural beauty and diverse wildlife.

The woodland is predominantly composed of ancient oak trees, which create a dense canopy that provides a cool and shady environment, especially during the summer months. The forest floor is covered in a rich carpet of moss, ferns, and wildflowers, adding to the overall charm of the area.

Vann Copse offers a peaceful and tranquil escape for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The woodland is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore its hidden treasures. Walking through the forest, one can encounter a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, badgers, and an array of bird species.

The copse is also home to a small stream, which meanders its way through the trees, creating a calming soundtrack of babbling water. This stream is an important water source for the local wildlife and adds to the overall ecological significance of the woodland.

Vann Copse is a popular destination for nature walks, picnics, and photography. The changing seasons bring a different charm to the forest, with vibrant autumnal colors and the delicate blossoms of spring adding to its allure.

Overall, Vann Copse in Surrey is a haven of natural beauty, offering visitors a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in the wonders of the woodland.

Toll House, Chiddingfold What looks to be an ex-toll house. The brick fabric looks late for a toll house so may well have served the Petworth Turnpike Trust in its dying years. It would have replaced a Toll House SSE on the North side of the ford/bridge at Northbridge.

Hambledon - National Trust cottages The National Trust were left a number (13 I believe) of cottages in and around the village of Hambledon by local generous benefactors. Most of these cottages are now let out by the Trust on long-term leases and cannot be visited by the public - such as the one on the right in this image. However, one cottage "Oakhurst Cottage" can be viewed by prior arrangement (see <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/oakhurst-cottage" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/oakhurst-cottage">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> ) - and this can be seen on the left here - and here <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5783968">SU9637 : Oakhurst Cottage, Hambledon</a>

Oakhurst Cottage, Hambledon Oakhurst Cottage is, according to our helpful guide, the second smallest National Trust property open to the public. The guided tour certainly doesn't take that long as there are just three rooms downstairs and two up.
It is a charming little cottage, thought to date from the C17th, and was lived in with virtually no mod cons until the early 1980s.
