Hayes Coppice One of the many small woodlands in the surrounds of the Malvern Hills. This is a great place to visit if you like traditional old English woodland. This is the Bromesberrow Estate in Gloucestershire, just to the north in Herefordshire is Eastnor which is also well wooded and very light on the Sitka. Oaks dominate the deep soils on the sandstones. Further up the hill on thin soils above Uriconian rocks ashes, some huge are the favoured tree. Sadly the invasive sycamore is too common in the Malvern Hills, it thrived when grazing stopped.
