Half Copse is a small woodland located in the county of Devon, England. Situated in the southwestern part of the country, this forested area covers an approximate area of 100 acres. The copse is named "Half Copse" due to its size being roughly half the size of the nearby larger woodland, Full Copse.

The woodland consists mainly of deciduous trees, with a diverse range of species such as oak, beech, and ash. These trees create a dense canopy, providing shade and shelter to the various wildlife that inhabit the area. The forest floor is covered with a thick layer of leaf litter, creating a rich and fertile environment for the growth of wildflowers and undergrowth plants.

Half Copse is also known for its abundance of wildlife. The woodland provides a habitat for a variety of animals, including deer, foxes, badgers, and a wide array of bird species. The tranquil atmosphere and natural beauty of the copse make it a popular spot for birdwatching and nature enthusiasts.

The woodland is accessible to the public via well-maintained footpaths that meander through the trees, providing visitors with the opportunity to explore and appreciate the natural surroundings. The copse is well-preserved, with conservation efforts in place to protect the delicate ecosystem and maintain its natural beauty.

Overall, Half Copse is a picturesque woodland in Devon, offering visitors a peaceful retreat in nature, abundant wildlife, and opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking, birdwatching, and photography.
