Camsland Copse is a beautiful woodland located in the county of Devon, England. Situated near the small town of Newton Abbot, this copse covers an area of approximately 20 acres. It is characterized by its dense vegetation and diverse range of tree species, making it an important habitat for local wildlife.

The copse is primarily composed of native deciduous trees such as oak, beech, and ash, which create a lush and vibrant canopy during the summer months. These trees provide a valuable nesting site for a variety of bird species, including woodpeckers, tits, and finches.

Walking through Camsland Copse, visitors can enjoy the tranquil atmosphere and the soothing sounds of nature. The woodland floor is covered in a thick layer of leaf litter, creating a soft and quiet path. Bluebells, primroses, and wild garlic are just a few examples of the beautiful wildflowers that bloom here during the spring.

The copse also features several small streams and ponds, which support a diverse range of aquatic life, including frogs, newts, and dragonflies. These water features provide a refreshing oasis for both wildlife and visitors alike.

Camsland Copse is a popular destination for nature lovers and walkers, who can explore the network of footpaths that wind through the woodland. The copse is managed by the local council, ensuring its protection and preservation for future generations to enjoy.

Plaque to mark the opening of bridge over A30 When the A30 dual carriageway was built, traffic at the junction for Cheriton Bishop and other villages had to cross the carriageway; it became an accident black-spot.  Local campaigners persuaded the Highways Agency to build a bridge and make a safer junction.  This plaque also notes the efforts of one local councillor in the campaign.
