Greenbroom Copse, located in Sussex, England, is an enchanting woodland area known for its natural beauty and diverse ecosystem. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, this ancient woodland is a haven for wildlife and plant species, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers.

The copse is primarily composed of deciduous trees, including oak, ash, and birch, which create a dense canopy overhead, allowing only dappled sunlight to filter through. This creates a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, perfect for those seeking solace in nature. The forest floor is adorned with an array of wildflowers, such as bluebells, primroses, and wood anemones, providing a vibrant and colorful carpet during springtime.

Walking through Greenbroom Copse, visitors will come across a network of winding trails, which crisscross the woodland, leading to hidden clearings and secluded spots. The chorus of birdsong fills the air, with the melodies of woodpeckers, robins, and blackbirds creating a symphony of natural sounds.

This woodland is also home to a variety of wildlife species, including deer, foxes, badgers, and numerous bird species. The copse provides a vital habitat for these creatures, offering shelter, food, and protection.

Greenbroom Copse is managed by local conservation authorities, who work tirelessly to preserve its natural beauty and protect the delicate balance of its ecosystem. The copse is open to the public year-round, providing an opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves in the tranquility of this ancient woodland and experience the wonders of nature firsthand.

Faygate Station, Faygate, West Sussex Not pretty, but functional. The small village of Faygate is surprisingly industrial (easy access to the railway and main A264 road probably the reason) for its location and the station fits in with the theme. On the Line between Horsham and Crawley (London Victoria - Littlehampton/Bognor Regis)

Field adjacent to bridleway near Carylls Lea junction, Faygate, West Sussex This corner of the field is in the SW corner of the grid square, but there were several similar open fields on either side of the public right of way (which runs along a metalled farm track at this point).
