Barn's Copse is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Sussex, England. Spanning an area of approximately 100 acres, it is a charming example of a traditional English copse. The woodland is characterized by its diverse range of trees, including oak, beech, birch, and ash, which create a stunning display of colors throughout the seasons.

Situated on gently undulating terrain, Barn's Copse offers visitors a tranquil and peaceful ambiance. The forest floor is covered in a thick carpet of fallen leaves, providing a soft and natural path for walkers and hikers to explore the area. The copse is intersected by a network of well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to easily navigate through the woodland and discover its hidden treasures.

Wildlife enthusiasts will be delighted by the abundance of flora and fauna in Barn's Copse. The woodland is home to a variety of bird species, including woodpeckers, owls, and thrushes, making it a haven for birdwatchers. Squirrels can be spotted darting between the trees, and if lucky, visitors may even catch a glimpse of a timid deer or fox.

Barn's Copse is not only a haven for nature lovers but also a popular destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts. The well-equipped picnic areas and designated camping spots make it an ideal location for a day out or even an overnight stay. Whether it is exploring the woodland trails, capturing the beauty of the landscape through photography, or simply immersing oneself in the peacefulness of nature, Barn's Copse offers a truly enchanting experience for all who visit.

Bridleway along ancient earthwork A bank and ditch extends for some considerable distance. Most of it, together with some nearby earthworks, are in an area scheduled as an Ancient Monument. This seems to be because they look likely to be of archaeological interest, although their origin and purpose remain obscure. Surmises range from Romano-British to mediaeval times.

Madehurst - Arundel parish boundary The boundary here follows an ancient earthwork, and is further marked with a string of cast-iron plates. These have 'N' on the Arundel side, and 'F' on the Madehurst side. 'N' must be for Norfolk, the Duke of Norfolk has owned most of Arundel for centuries. 'F' probably stands for Fletcher, a Fletcher bought the Madehurst manor in the 1850s. No earlier landowner was an 'F'.

A29 The A29 runs for 34 miles from the A24 at Capel, south of Dorking, through Billingshurst and Pulborough, crossing the South Downs at Bury Hill and passing Fontwell Park Racecourse before terminating on the B2166 on Bognor Regis sea front. From Capel to Hardham, south of Pulborough, the road largely follows the path of the old Roman road, Stane Street.
