Barn Copse is a picturesque woodland located in Devon, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, it is renowned for its natural beauty and diverse ecosystem. Situated in the heart of the Devon countryside, Barn Copse offers visitors a tranquil and serene escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

The woodland is predominantly populated by a variety of native tree species, including oak, beech, and birch.

These paths lead to a secluded pond, where ducks and other waterfowl gather, and a small stream that meanders through the trees, providing a soothing soundtrack to the woodland experience.
