Bulmer Coppice is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Norfolk, England. Situated near the village of Bulmer, this ancient forest covers an area of approximately 100 acres and is part of the wider Norfolk Broads National Park.

The coppice is predominantly composed of native broadleaf trees, including oak, ash, birch, and beech, which create a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. The forest floor is rich in biodiversity, with a variety of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses thriving beneath the dense canopy.

The woodland is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore its natural beauty while immersing themselves in the tranquil surroundings. These paths lead to a small pond nestled within the forest, providing a peaceful spot for wildlife observation or a moment of reflection.

Bulmer Coppice is a haven for wildlife, offering a sanctuary for a range of species. Birdwatchers can spot woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds flitting through the trees, while small mammals like squirrels and rabbits scurry about on the forest floor.

The woodland is open to the public throughout the year, and its serene atmosphere makes it an ideal destination for nature lovers, walkers, and those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the trees, a picnic by the pond, or simply enjoying the sights and sounds of nature, Bulmer Coppice offers a truly idyllic experience for visitors of all ages.
