Nestled on the edge of the Quantock Hills, this enchanting natural wonder offers visitors a serene and picturesque escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The copse is predominantly made up of dense deciduous trees, including oak, beech, and ash, which create a rich and vibrant canopy during the warmer months. These trees provide a habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including squirrels, rabbits, and various bird species, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

Traversing through Cliff Copse, one can find a network of well-maintained paths that wind their way through the woodland, offering visitors the opportunity to explore its hidden treasures.

During the spring, the forest floor is adorned with a beautiful carpet of bluebells, creating a stunning visual spectacle and attracting many visitors. The copse also boasts a variety of wildflowers, adding bursts of color and fragrance to the landscape.
