Coppice Hill is a modest hill located in Staffordshire, England. Situated in the beautiful countryside, it forms part of the Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Despite its name, Coppice Hill is not a mountain but rather a small hill, with an elevation of approximately 199 meters (653 feet) above sea level.

The hill is known for its lush greenery and is covered with a dense forest of coppiced trees, hence the name. Coppicing is a traditional method of woodland management, where trees are regularly cut back to the stump, promoting new growth. This practice has been carried out on Coppice Hill for centuries, resulting in a diverse and vibrant woodland ecosystem.

The hill offers a range of recreational opportunities for visitors. There are several walking trails that wind their way through the woods, allowing hikers to explore the area and take in the stunning views. The hill is also a popular spot for nature enthusiasts, as it is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including deer, rabbits, and a wide array of bird species.

Coppice Hill is easily accessible, located just a short distance from the town of Cannock. It provides a peaceful retreat for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the woods or a more challenging hike up the hill, Coppice Hill offers a tranquil and scenic escape for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Glacial Boulder and Trigpoint, Cannock Chase Set upon a pedestal of Triassic pebbles, the boulder is of Granite which is out of place here on the Moorlands of South Staffordshire, there being no granite outcrops anywhere in the Midlands. The boulder has been matched however, to the intrusive rock outcrop at Cniffel in Dumfries & Galloway, which is over 170 miles (280km) away from the Chase in the Southern Uplands of Scotland. This granite 'erratic' is marked on the OS map as the "Glacial Boulder", which gives some idea how it got here. The boulder was ripped from its parent mountain sometime during the last Ice-Age, and was transported by glacial action to its present location, the journey perhaps taking ten-thousand years during which the edges of the rock were worn down, giving its present rounded appearance.
