Alder Coppice

Easthope Mill Apparently Easthope Mill dates from the Georgian period, maybe around 1810, and hasn't been much interfered with since; a fine rare survivor. Now obviously a smallholding or farm.

Alder Coppice is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Shropshire, England. Spanning over a vast area, this dense forest is renowned for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. The coppice is predominantly composed of alder trees, which thrive in the wet and marshy soil conditions found in the area.

The forest is home to a diverse range of plant and animal species, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and wildlife photographers. The shady pathways winding through the woods offer visitors a chance to explore the rich biodiversity of the area, with opportunities to spot various species of birds, butterflies, and small mammals.

Alder Coppice is not only a haven for wildlife but also serves as an important ecological site. The alder trees play a crucial role in maintaining the health and stability of the surrounding ecosystem. Their deep roots help to prevent soil erosion, while the fallen leaves and branches contribute to the nutrient cycle on the forest floor.

The coppice provides a peaceful retreat for those seeking solitude and relaxation amidst nature. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks, picnics, or simply sit and soak in the tranquil ambiance. The forest is also a popular spot for outdoor activities such as hiking and birdwatching.

Overall, Alder Coppice in Shropshire is a haven for nature lovers, offering a unique and enchanting experience for anyone who ventures into its leafy depths.

The rear of Easthope Mill Behind the old mill house is a remnant of an old dry stone wall running to the rear plot boundary of the mill and beside that the present owner has built up a supply of firewood. A few old harrows lie protecting some old fencing wire rolls and a discarded bath tub-cum-drinking trough is being stored there too.

Pool near Easthope The signage has long been erased by the weather but this man-made lake is a haven for birdlife in early April; a pair of Canada Geese seem to be thinking of nesting here (the male honking at us as we passed) and coot and ducks also were disturbed by our passing. Obviously they were not expecting visitors.

Guardians of a path to nowhere The path heads south from Red House Farm, and may once have connected with others through the Holy Mill area. It now seems to peter out a little way south of here, leaving the walker to negotiate a field containing these inquisitive heifers; as usual, waving a map around seems to discourage them quite well.
