Square Copse is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Sussex, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, it is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The copse is situated on a gently sloping hillside, providing visitors with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

The woodland is predominantly made up of a mixture of deciduous and coniferous trees, including oak, beech, pine, and birch. These trees create a diverse and vibrant ecosystem, supporting a wide range of flora and fauna. Bluebells carpet the forest floor during the spring months, creating a stunning display of color.

Tranquil pathways wind their way through the copse, allowing visitors to explore the area at their own pace. The paths are well-maintained and suitable for both walking and cycling. There are also designated picnic areas, providing the perfect spot for a leisurely lunch amidst the natural beauty of Square Copse.

The wood is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, badgers, and a plethora of bird species. Birdwatchers can spot woodpeckers, owls, and thrushes among the trees. Nature enthusiasts will also be delighted to find a small stream running through the copse, adding to its charm and providing a habitat for aquatic creatures.

Square Copse is a popular destination for nature walks, family outings, and photography enthusiasts. Its idyllic setting and diverse wildlife make it a haven for those seeking tranquility and a connection with nature.
