Ash Copse is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Devon, England. Situated near the village of Ashreigney, it covers an area of approximately 30 acres and is known for its diverse range of flora and fauna.

The forest is primarily composed of ash trees, which give it its name. These tall, slender trees create a dense canopy that provides shade and shelter for various species of plants and animals. The woodland floor is covered in a thick carpet of moss and ferns, creating a lush and vibrant green environment.

Ash Copse is home to a wide array of wildlife. Bird enthusiasts can spot species such as woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds. Small mammals like squirrels, rabbits, and badgers can also be found here. The woodland is particularly known for its population of deer, which can often be seen grazing in the early morning or evening.

The forest offers a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and hikers. A network of well-maintained trails winds through the woodland, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their own pace. These paths lead to hidden clearings and viewpoints, offering stunning vistas of the surrounding countryside.

Ash Copse is not only a haven for wildlife but also serves as an important conservation area. Efforts are made to preserve and protect the woodland, ensuring its natural beauty and biodiversity are maintained for future generations to enjoy.
