Bakers Copse is a small woodland located in Somerset, England. Situated near the village of Bakers Cross, it covers an area of approximately 10 acres. The copse is primarily composed of various deciduous trees, including oak, beech, and ash, creating a rich and diverse habitat.

The woodland is known for its picturesque beauty, with a dense canopy that provides shade and shelter for a variety of flora and fauna. Bluebells carpet the forest floor in spring, creating a stunning display of vibrant colors. The copse also features a small stream that meanders through the trees, adding to its natural charm.

Bakers Copse has a long history, dating back several centuries. It was once part of a larger forest that covered the region, providing timber for local communities. Today, it serves as a peaceful retreat for nature enthusiasts, offering opportunities for walking, birdwatching, and photography.

The woodland is home to a range of wildlife, including squirrels, badgers, and numerous species of birds. It provides an important habitat for woodland birds such as robins, blackbirds, and great tits. The copse also hosts a variety of insects, butterflies, and small mammals, contributing to the overall biodiversity of the area.

Bakers Copse is open to the public year-round, allowing visitors to explore its tranquil surroundings and enjoy the beauty of nature. It is a popular destination for local residents and tourists seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
