Lower Little Copse is a charming woodland located in Devon, England. Covering an area of approximately 10 acres, this small forest is nestled within the picturesque countryside, offering visitors a tranquil and idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The woodland is predominantly composed of native broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, and ash, which create a dense canopy overhead. The lush undergrowth is home to a variety of plant species, such as bluebells, wild garlic, and ferns, which add to the natural beauty of the area.

Lower Little Copse is known for its rich biodiversity, providing a habitat for a wide range of wildlife. Bird enthusiasts will delight in spotting species such as woodpeckers, nuthatches, and tawny owls, while small mammals like squirrels, badgers, and foxes can also be found amongst the trees.

The forest offers several walking trails, allowing visitors to explore the woodland at their own pace. These paths meander through the trees, offering glimpses of sunlight filtering through the leaves and the peaceful sound of birdsong filling the air. The tranquility of the forest makes it an ideal spot for nature lovers, walkers, and those seeking a peaceful retreat.

Managed by a local conservation group, Lower Little Copse is dedicated to preserving and protecting the natural environment. The woodland is open to the public year-round and is free to access, offering visitors the chance to enjoy the beauty and serenity of this hidden gem in the heart of Devon.
