Birch Copse, located in Devon, is a picturesque woodland area known for its abundance of birch trees. Stretching over a vast expanse, the copse is a haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a tranquil escape from the bustling city life.

The copse is characterized by its dense vegetation, comprising mainly of birch trees, which dominate the landscape with their slender trunks and delicate branches. The trees create a cool, shady environment beneath their canopy, providing a welcoming respite from the summer heat. The copse is particularly enchanting during the autumn months when the leaves of the birch trees transform into a vibrant palette of red, orange, and yellow, offering a stunning display of nature's beauty.

The forest floor is covered in a thick layer of moss and fallen leaves, providing a soft carpet for visitors to tread upon. This natural carpet is home to an array of wildlife, including squirrels, rabbits, and various bird species. It is not uncommon to spot a red fox darting through the undergrowth or to hear the melodic songs of woodland birds echoing through the trees.

Tranquil pathways wind their way through Birch Copse, allowing visitors to explore the woodland at their own pace. These paths take visitors past babbling brooks, bubbling streams, and small ponds, adding to the serenity of the experience. Many visitors find solace in the copse, using it as a space for meditation, birdwatching, or simply to reconnect with nature.

Overall, Birch Copse in Devon offers a serene and picturesque escape into nature, providing a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It is a place where one can immerse themselves in the beauty of the natural world and find peace amongst the birch trees.

Membury: former inn at Long Bridge Now a private house, this was formerly the Longbridge Inn and the sign still stands across the road. It was listed as a pub by CAMRA in 1993 when it featured a restaurant and two skittle alleys. There are now two bridges nearby: one over the Yarty and a second over another watercourse, possibly an old leat or tail race or flood channel
