Fullingmill Copse is a picturesque woodland located in Sussex, England. Covering an area of approximately 20 acres, it is a stunning example of a mature mixed woodland. The copse is characterized by its dense canopy of towering oak, beech, and ash trees, which provide a rich habitat for a diverse range of flora and fauna.

The woodland floor is adorned with a carpet of bluebells in the spring, creating a breathtakingly beautiful sight. Other native wildflowers such as wood anemones, primroses, and wild garlic also thrive in the copse, adding vibrant splashes of color throughout the year.

The copse is home to a variety of bird species including woodpeckers, tawny owls, and nuthatches. Visitors may also catch glimpses of squirrels darting through the trees or deer grazing in the undergrowth. The tranquil atmosphere and abundance of wildlife make Fullingmill Copse a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

In addition to its natural beauty, Fullingmill Copse has historical significance. It was once part of a larger estate, and remnants of ancient boundaries and ditches can still be seen within the woodland. The copse has also played a role in local folklore, with tales of hidden treasure and mythical creatures associated with the area.

Fullingmill Copse is easily accessible, with well-maintained paths that allow visitors to explore its enchanting surroundings. Whether it is for a leisurely walk, a picnic, or simply to immerse oneself in the tranquility of nature, Fullingmill Copse offers a truly captivating experience for all who visit.

Wiston Viewed from the footpath that links the village with Upper Chancton Farm. The original village was based around the church at the foot of the Downs but through the ages the population steadily migrated northwards particularly along the wasteland near the old decayed hamlet of Buncton. The last of the villagers were moved out in the 19th century when Wiston House extended its park.
