Brickyard Copse is a picturesque and enchanting woodland located in Surrey, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, this ancient forest is a haven for nature lovers and provides a tranquil escape from the bustling city life.

The copse is predominantly made up of native tree species such as oak, beech, and ash, creating a dense canopy that filters the sunlight and casts beautiful dappled patterns on the forest floor. The tall and majestic trees provide a habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including squirrels, deer, and a variety of bird species.

Visitors to Brickyard Copse can enjoy a network of well-maintained footpaths that meander through the woods, allowing for leisurely strolls and a chance to immerse oneself in the natural surroundings. The paths are lined with vibrant wildflowers and ferns, creating a delightful and fragrant backdrop during the spring and summer months.

The copse is also home to a small stream that runs through its heart, adding to the serenity and charm of the woodland. This babbling brook provides a refreshing spot for wildlife to drink from and offers a calming soundtrack for those who seek solace in nature.

Brickyard Copse is a popular destination for families, dog walkers, and nature enthusiasts alike. Its peaceful ambiance and abundance of natural beauty make it an ideal location for picnics, photography, or simply a quiet place to connect with nature. Whether visitors are seeking solitude or an opportunity to explore the wonders of the natural world, Brickyard Copse offers a truly memorable experience.

Pond bay at Ewood, near Newdigate, Surrey Ewood was one of the main centres for ironmaking in the 15th century. The works were water-powered, driven by a pond which is thought to have been 200 acres in size. The pond bay (or dam) can still be seen behind a cottage on Ewood Lane.

Newdigate Brickworks Nature Reserve Newdigate Brickworks opened in c.1928 and was a successful business for many years. The works closed during the Second World War and much of the site became derelict, but handmade bricks were made here on a smaller scale after the war, the trade lasting until 1974. The site then lay derelict until 2004, when a housing development was built on the old factory site and the four lakes left over from quarrying became a public nature reserve managed by the Surrey Wildlife Trust. The reserve covers 43 acres of lake, grassland and woodland near the centre of this grid-square.

The Surrey Oaks at Parkgate 'The original parts of The Surrey Oaks date back to 1570. It seems, however that it did not become an inn until c. 1850 when Mary, widow of James Butcher, a wheelwright, was described in the tithe redemption schedule as an "innkeeper". In order to provide an additional income, Mary turned the house (which continued as a wheelwright's) into an inn'.
