Description

Located 11 miles south of Guildford, Muttons Copse is a delightful Ancient Woodland that forms part of a wider gated forest close to the West Sussex border.

This tranquil copse is situated on level loamy clay soils and comprises a mature canopy of majestic oak (many of the stems are of excellent quality), sweet chestnut, ash and occasional Norway spruce. The lush shrub layer beneath consists of hazel coppice (perfect for walking sticks!), large holly and regenerating sweet chestnut. During spring the ground layer is awash with beautiful bluebells (an Ancient Woodland indicator), creating a delightful woodland scene amongst the stems. Additional splashes of colour are provided by other ground flora including wood anemone, primrose and lesser celandine.

Regular woodland visitors include deer (fallow and roe), fox, badger, brown long-eared bat, adder, woodpecker, little owl and many harmonious songsters.

Predominantly surrounded by earth bunds, the wood offers a sense of privacy from within. A number of open spaces make superb locations for occasional overnighting. Far reaching rural views looking north, east and west are also enjoyed from the boundaries.

Muttons Copse is accessible with a 4WD vehicle all year round and a 2WD in all but the wettest of weather.

If It Were Mine

I would certainly fashion a few thumbsticks from the hazel coppice. Occasional overnighting and BBQs would happen during the summer months at any number of the attractive open locations, perhaps near one of the boundaries soaking up the scenic views.

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