Paull's Copse is a charming woodland area located in Somerset, England. Situated near the village of Paull's Green, this copse is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility amidst the lush greenery.

Covering an area of approximately 10 acres, Paull's Copse is primarily composed of deciduous trees, including oak, beech, and ash, creating a diverse and vibrant forest ecosystem. The copse is known for its dense canopy, which provides a cool and shaded atmosphere even on hot summer days.

The woodland floor is adorned with a rich carpet of wildflowers, adding bursts of color throughout the seasons. Visitors can expect to find bluebells, primroses, and wood anemones, among others. This abundance of flora makes Paull's Copse a haven for wildlife, attracting a variety of birds, butterflies, and small mammals.

Several walking trails wind their way through the copse, offering visitors the opportunity to explore its natural beauty at their own pace. These well-maintained paths provide easy access to the heart of the woodland, where one can fully immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of nature.

Paull's Copse is also home to a small pond, a serene spot where visitors can observe dragonflies skimming the water's surface and listen to the chorus of frogs during the breeding season.

Whether it's a leisurely stroll, birdwatching, or simply finding solace in nature, Paull's Copse offers a peaceful retreat for all who venture into its enchanting embrace.

Disused railway cycleway, Donyatt The disused railway line from Chard to Ilminster is a useful cycle route avoiding the busy A358 (although further south the main road itself follows the course of the railway), and forms part of the incomplete Wessex Way Cycle Route. Looking south from the junction with the Sea-Donyatt footpath.

Crock Street The name presumably reflects the existence of pottery sites and kilns in the neighbourhood. The signpost seem to have lost two of its arms; Stibbear Lane, straight ahead past the attractive stone farmhouse at Crock Street Farm, leads to the A358 near Donyatt, having come down from the Blackdown Hills at Sticklepath, while the left turn goes to Horton.

Field and lane at Barley Hill Farm The lane, to Crock Street, almost immediately crosses into ST3113, so this is a view practically along the gridline at the northern edge of the square, with a wheatfield beside the lane. The water finding its way onto the lane indicates how much rain has fallen in recent weeks.
