Two Acre Copse is a charming woodland located in Devon, England. Covering an area of approximately two acres, the copse is a delightful mix of ancient trees, dense undergrowth, and a variety of wildlife.

The copse is predominantly made up of native broadleaf trees such as oak, beech, and ash. These towering giants provide a dense canopy, creating a cool and tranquil atmosphere within the woods. The forest floor is covered in a thick carpet of moss, ferns, and wildflowers, adding to the enchanting beauty of the area.

Two Acre Copse is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. The diverse ecosystem supports a range of animals, including deer, foxes, badgers, and numerous species of birds. Birdwatchers can spot woodland birds such as woodpeckers, owls, and thrushes, as well as raptors like buzzards and kestrels. The copse is also home to a variety of insects and small mammals, making it an ideal spot for nature lovers and photographers.

The copse is easily accessible, with a well-maintained footpath that winds through the woods. The path is lined with wooden benches, inviting visitors to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. There are also informative signposts along the way, providing interesting facts about the flora and fauna found within the copse.

Hemyock: Scaddings Prings and Scaddings was site of an 18th century tannery:
‘Devonshire. To be Let for a Term of 7 or 14 years, and entered upon immediately, all that Meffuage and Tenement called by the name of Prings and Scaddings, lately in the possession of Mr Clement Waldron, fituate at Madford, in the parifh of Hemiock .. comprifing of a Dwelling-houfe, Barn, and Outbuildings, and about twenty five acres of very good Orchard, Meadow and Pasture Land, well fituated for a Tannery, that Bufinefs having recently been carried on there ..’
[Exeter Flying Post 2 June 1796 p 2 col 3]. Situated by the Madford Water, a tributary of the Culm, and just downstream from Dunkeswell Abbey, it is very possible that there was originally a medieval tannery associated with the abbey here. Looking west-north-west

Dunkeswell: on Collard Hill Gathering hay for silage. The tractor is pulling a new trailer with its own feed device. Useful. But it means that the tractor needs to empty the trailer after no more than a lap of an average-sized field, which is fine if the silage storage facility is near at hand. Looking east-south-east with Abbey Hill – above Dunkeswell Abbey – on the skyline

Patches of snow lie in the field.
