Alder Copse, located in Sussex, England, is a picturesque woodland that spans across a vast area, captivating visitors with its natural beauty and serene ambiance. This enchanting forest is predominantly composed of alder trees, which lend it its name and distinctive charm. The copse is nestled within the South Downs National Park, showcasing the region's rich biodiversity and providing a sanctuary for various flora and fauna.

The forest floor is carpeted with a thick layer of moss, making every step feel like a gentle cushion. The dense canopy formed by the alder trees creates a serene and shaded environment, shielding visitors from the sun's rays on warm summer days. The copse comes alive with vibrant colors during the autumn months, as the leaves of the alder trees transform into a stunning palette of reds, oranges, and yellows.

Alder Copse is home to a wide range of wildlife, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers. Visitors may catch a glimpse of the elusive deer roaming freely through the undergrowth, or hear the rhythmic tapping of a woodpecker in the distance. The copse is also a hub for a variety of bird species, including thrushes, nightingales, and owls, creating a symphony of birdsong that resonates throughout the forest.

Tranquility and serenity are the hallmarks of Alder Copse, making it a perfect destination for those seeking solace in nature's embrace. Whether it is a leisurely stroll through the woodland paths or a moment of quiet reflection on a moss-covered log, this idyllic forest offers a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Link road between the two carriageways of the A24 This short section of road enables traffic, from Copsale, to join the A24 in either directions.
Many years ago while returning south from Horsham we encountered an elderly lady heading north on the southbound carriageway. Fortunately it is a two lane carriageway and we were in the left lane and she was in the other as we rounded the bend a little further north from here. We only said one word which now translate into 'excrement'.
