Timber-framed outbuilding at Bailing Hill Farm - with antler trophies Bailing Hill (on the Warnham Park estate) is currently run as a deer farm - hence the antler trophies.  Apart from the smallish trophies fixed to the first-floor frame, notice the huge pair of antlers on the ground at the far end of the building.   <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.warnhampark.com/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.warnhampark.com/">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>

Garden Copse is a picturesque and enchanting woodland located in the heart of Sussex, England. Spanning over an area of approximately 50 acres, this forest is a haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility amidst the beauty of the outdoors.

The copse is characterized by its diverse range of native tree species, including oak, beech, and birch. These majestic trees create a dense canopy that filters the sunlight, casting a soothing shade over the forest floor. The woodland is also adorned with a carpet of vibrant wildflowers, which bloom in a riot of colors during the spring and summer months.

Walking through Garden Copse, visitors are greeted with a symphony of sounds from the local wildlife. The air is filled with the melodic chirping of birds such as thrushes, finches, and woodpeckers, while squirrels playfully scamper among the branches. If lucky, one might even catch a glimpse of a shy deer or a fox stealthily making its way through the undergrowth.

There are several well-maintained trails that wind their way through the forest, allowing visitors to explore the copse at their own pace. These pathways are ideal for leisurely strolls, bird watching, or simply immersing oneself in the serenity of nature. Additionally, there are designated picnic areas and benches strategically placed throughout the copse, providing visitors with the perfect spot to rest and enjoy a packed lunch amidst the natural beauty.

Garden Copse is a true gem in the Sussex countryside, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether one seeks solace in nature or simply wishes to explore the wonders of a woodland, this enchanting forest is sure to leave a lasting impression.
