Acre Copse is a picturesque woodland located in Somerset, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it is known for its rich biodiversity and stunning natural beauty. The copse is predominantly made up of deciduous trees, including oak, ash, and beech, which create a dense canopy overhead, providing shade and shelter for a variety of flora and fauna.

The woodland floor is carpeted with a diverse range of wildflowers, including bluebells, primroses, and wood anemones, which bloom in vibrant colors during the spring months. This creates a breathtaking sight and attracts nature enthusiasts and photographers alike.

Acre Copse is also home to a wide range of wildlife. Visitors may encounter deer, foxes, and squirrels while exploring the woodland trails. Birdwatchers will delight in the opportunity to spot various species, including woodpeckers, owls, and songbirds, which can often be heard serenading visitors with their melodious calls.

The copse is carefully managed to ensure the preservation of its natural habitat. Conservation efforts aim to maintain the diversity of the woodland ecosystem and protect vulnerable species. Regular maintenance work, such as tree planting and selective felling, is carried out to maintain a healthy balance within the woodland.

Acre Copse offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. The well-maintained footpaths and picnic areas make it an ideal location for families and nature enthusiasts to explore and enjoy the wonders of this enchanting woodland.
