Bearland Copse is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Devon, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, it is a place of natural beauty and tranquility. The copse is situated on gently sloping terrain, with a mixture of deciduous and coniferous trees creating a rich and diverse habitat.

The woodland is home to an array of wildlife, including various bird species such as woodpeckers, owls, and thrushes. Small mammals like squirrels, foxes, and badgers can also be found within the copse, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and wildlife photographers.

Bearland Copse boasts a well-maintained network of walking trails that meander through the woodland, allowing visitors to explore its enchanting surroundings. These trails are suitable for all levels of fitness and offer opportunities for leisurely strolls or more challenging hikes.
