Description

Valentine Copse is a versatile woodland situated towards the southern end of a wider forested area on the edge of Woodcote village, 10 miles west of Henley-on-Thames.

This special woodland stands on well drained fertile loamy earths that feature majestic tall beech trees, originally established to supply the once busy furniture industry in High Wycombe in the later part of the 1800s. The good shade tolerance of beech has since formed some strong natural regeneration in the shrub layer. Some pleasant clusters of bushy holly embellish the ground beneath the mature canopy. Maturing birch occupy a sizable open area towards the north east of the woodland, giving an ideal location for overnighting if one were to strim a small area. Its topography is largely level with a gentle slope towards the southwest boundary and access track.  

Local wildlife within the wood is abundant, muntjac and roe deer, woodpecker, tawny owl and buzzard are regular frequenters as well as plenty of musical songsters. A keen fungi enthusiast may find an interesting array during the autumn months, including fly agaric and magpie inkcap.

Valentine Copse is accessed via a hard track that runs just inside the south west boundary, navigable with a 2WD car. The woodland offers great scope for bushcraft and family gatherings within the natural environment.

If It Were Mine

I would clear a small footpath from the parking spot that services the woodland, leading into one of the open areas and create a small barbecue area. I might also yield a small amount of beech for smoking meat, possibly local venison.    

Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
