Pool Coppice is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Shropshire, England. Situated near the village of Much Wenlock, this wood is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, Pool Coppice is characterized by its dense canopy of broadleaf trees, including oak, ash, and beech. The woodland floor is covered in a rich carpet of ferns, bluebells, and wildflowers, creating a vibrant and diverse ecosystem.

The wood is intersected by a network of well-maintained footpaths and trails, allowing visitors to explore its natural beauty at their leisure. These paths wind through the woodland, leading to a small tranquil pond known as Pool Coppice Pool, which provides a serene spot for reflection and observation of the local wildlife.

Speaking of wildlife, Pool Coppice is home to a variety of species, both common and rare. Birdwatchers may spot woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds, while mammal enthusiasts may catch a glimpse of foxes, badgers, and even elusive deer. The wood is also known for its rich insect life, with butterflies and dragonflies fluttering among the trees.

Pool Coppice is managed by the local authorities to ensure its preservation and protection. The wood is open to the public year-round and offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether it's a leisurely stroll, a picnic, or a wildlife-spotting adventure, Pool Coppice is a natural gem that promises beauty and tranquility for all who visit.
