Moor Copse is a beautiful woodland located in Devon, England. Spanning an area of approximately 200 acres, it is known for its rich biodiversity and stunning natural scenery. The copse is situated in the heart of Devon, surrounded by rolling hills and picturesque countryside.

Characterized by its dense tree cover and vibrant undergrowth, Moor Copse is primarily composed of native deciduous species such as oak, beech, and birch. These trees provide a vital habitat for a wide range of wildlife, including numerous bird species, small mammals, and insects.

The copse is crisscrossed by a network of walking trails, which allow visitors to explore the area and immerse themselves in nature. The paths wind through the woodland, offering glimpses of hidden clearings, babbling brooks, and small ponds. Along the way, visitors may encounter various flora and fauna, such as bluebells, wild garlic, and butterflies.

Moor Copse is also home to a diverse array of birdlife. Birdwatchers flock to the copse to catch a glimpse of species such as woodpeckers, nuthatches, and warblers. The tranquil environment of the copse provides an ideal setting for observing and appreciating these fascinating creatures.

Managed by a local conservation organization, Moor Copse is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the natural environment. Regular maintenance and conservation efforts ensure that the copse remains a haven for wildlife and a delight for visitors. Whether it's for a peaceful walk, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the serenity of nature, Moor Copse offers an unforgettable experience for all who venture into its leafy embrace.

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
