Dugshill Copse

Bridleway past Pear Tree Farm The bridleway is up to 15 metres wide between long-established hedge banks and ditches, and must be ancient in origin, probably an old cart road. Pear Tree Farm, on the south side of the track, is quite recent, but Maltmayes, at the eastern end, is C14 in origin, and the track surely is much older still. Fortunately, this western end is no longer used by vehicles, perhaps because the junction with the Bognor Road (A29) is less than satisfactory (and distinctly hazardous if approaching from the opposite direction).

Dugshill Copse is a picturesque woodland located in Sussex, England. Nestled in the heart of the South Downs National Park, this enchanting forest covers an area of approximately 50 acres. With its diverse ecosystem and rich biodiversity, Dugshill Copse is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The woodland is predominantly composed of native deciduous trees, such as oak, beech, and ash. These towering trees create a dense canopy, providing shade and shelter for a variety of wildlife species. Walking through Dugshill Copse, visitors can marvel at the vibrant colors of the changing seasons, from the fresh green leaves of spring to the golden hues of autumn.

The forest floor is adorned with a carpet of wildflowers and ferns, adding to the magical ambiance of the woodland. Bluebells, primroses, and wood anemones create a stunning display in the springtime, attracting a plethora of insects and butterflies.

Dugshill Copse is also home to a diverse range of wildlife. Birdsong fills the air, with species such as woodpeckers, thrushes, and owls making their homes in the forest. Squirrels can be spotted scurrying up the trees, and if you're lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of a roe deer gracefully bounding through the undergrowth.

The woodland offers a network of walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its hidden corners and discover its natural wonders. Whether you're seeking a peaceful stroll or an adventurous hike, Dugshill Copse has something to offer for everyone.

Marches Farmhouse, Marches Road The date 1877 appears as a pattern of blue brickwork (so called 'diapering') between the middle and left-hand ground-floor windows. No longer a working farm.
