The copse is nestled in a rural landscape and is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers.

The woodland is characterized by its enchanting atmosphere, with dappled sunlight filtering through the lush canopy of hazel trees. These trees, which can grow up to 12 meters in height, create a dense and verdant habitat, providing a home to a variety of wildlife.
