Bara Copse is a picturesque woodland located in Cornwall, England. Nestled within the serene countryside, this enchanting forest covers an area of approximately 20 acres. It is situated near the village of Bara and is easily accessible by a well-maintained footpath.

The copse is primarily composed of native broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, and ash, which create a dense and lush canopy that provides shade and shelter for a variety of wildlife. The forest floor is adorned with a wide array of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses, adding to its natural beauty.

Bara Copse offers a tranquil retreat for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers. Visitors can explore the copse through a network of winding trails, which meander through the trees and reveal hidden clearings and peaceful glades. The peaceful ambience makes it an ideal spot for walking, birdwatching, or simply enjoying a quiet picnic amidst nature.

The copse is not only a haven for flora and fauna but also holds historical significance. It is believed to have been part of an ancient woodland, dating back centuries. Remnants of old stone walls and abandoned mine workings can still be found, serving as a testament to the area's past.

With its natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and historical charm, Bara Copse is a must-visit destination for those seeking a peaceful and immersive experience in the heart of Cornwall's countryside.

Downhayes Cottage The present structure comprises an original early nineteenth century cottage (nearest the lane) with a more recent extension built on at right angles. Some of the original outbuildings still stand (see right of picture). Down Hays (so spelt in the Census of 1841) was one of a number of cottages on the estate of Polapit Tamar which was owned during the nineteenth century by Edward Coode. Polapit Tamar House still stands, as does Wilkie (formerly Wilkey) Down cottage. All three properties are just off the Boyton to Yeolmbridge Road.
