Lowerdown Copse is a picturesque woodland located in Devon, England. Situated in the heart of the county, it covers an area of approximately 50 acres. The copse is renowned for its natural beauty, diverse flora and fauna, and tranquil atmosphere.

The trees in Lowerdown Copse primarily consist of native species such as oak, beech, and hazel. These majestic trees create a dense canopy, which filters sunlight and creates a cool and shaded environment. The forest floor is covered with a rich layer of leaf litter, providing a habitat for various small mammals, insects, and fungi.

Several well-maintained footpaths wind through Lowerdown Copse, providing visitors with the opportunity to explore the woodland and enjoy its natural wonders.
