Coombekeale Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Cornwall, England. It covers an area of approximately 100 acres and is situated near the village of Coombekeale, nestled amidst the rolling hills and valleys of the region.

The plantation is primarily composed of native broadleaf trees such as oak, beech, and ash, which create a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. These trees provide a dense canopy, allowing only dappled sunlight to filter through, resulting in a cool and tranquil atmosphere within the woodland.

The forest floor is carpeted with a rich variety of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses, adding to the natural beauty of the area. A network of well-maintained footpaths meanders through the plantation, making it easily accessible for visitors who wish to explore and enjoy the serene surroundings.

Coombekeale Plantation is also home to numerous species of birds, including woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds, making it a haven for birdwatchers. In addition, the woodland provides a habitat for small mammals like squirrels, rabbits, and hedgehogs.

This enchanting woodland is a popular destination for nature lovers, walkers, and photographers, who can capture the beauty of the changing seasons within its leafy embrace. The plantation is open to the public year-round, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustle of everyday life.

Coombekeale Plantation is a true gem of Cornwall, where visitors can immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature and discover the wonders of this ancient woodland.
