Busbridge Copse is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Surrey, England. Covering an area of approximately 20 hectares, it is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility in the heart of the countryside.

The copse is characterized by its diverse range of trees, including oak, beech, and birch, which create a stunning canopy of foliage throughout the year. The woodland floor is adorned with a rich carpet of bluebells in the spring, while ferns and mosses thrive in the shaded areas.

A network of well-maintained footpaths winds its way through the copse, offering visitors the opportunity to explore its natural beauty at their own pace. The paths are suitable for both casual strolls and more challenging hikes, ensuring that there is something for everyone.

Wildlife is abundant in Busbridge Copse, with a variety of bird species, such as woodpeckers, thrushes, and finches, making their home among the trees. Squirrels and rabbits can often be spotted darting through the undergrowth, while badgers and foxes are known to inhabit the area.

The copse is managed by the National Trust, ensuring its preservation and protection for future generations to enjoy. It is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), due to its importance for wildlife and the diversity of plant life found within its boundaries.

Busbridge Copse offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, providing visitors with the opportunity to connect with nature and experience the beauty of Surrey's woodlands.
