Description

Situated within a peaceful wider Ancient Woodland, Copygrove Copse lies just north of the village of Northchapel in rural West Sussex, roughly an hour and twenty minutes from London. 

Located on gentle south facing slopes amongst fertile loamy clay soils, the canopy mostly consists of majestic oak standards (some of the stems are of an excellent quality), cherry, ash and tall sweet chestnut coppice. The shrub layer underneath comprises lush holly, hazel coppice, birch and yew. A new owner could select some of the sweet chestnut for fuel, as well as rail fencing.  Patches of bluebell, primrose, fern, bracken and blackberry enhance the ground layer throughout the seasons.

Rural views are enjoyed looking east, south and west from the woodland; these would make ideal locations to hang up a hammock or two between trees during the warmer months. There are also several open areas that would make good spots for woodcraft and occasional camping, including a ride along part of the eastern boundary.

A range of feathered guests such as buzzard, treecreeper, woodpecker, long eared owl and various acoustic songbirds enjoy the tranquillity of this place. Woodland mammals including deer (roe and fallow), badger, hare and fox have all been sighted.

Copygrove Copse benefits from good vehicular access along a hard track suitable for a 2WD vehicle. This also extends to the southern end of the woodland as an unsurfaced track, handy for light woodland maintenance purposes.

If It Were Mine

I would first brash cut the ride to the east to make a bushcraft area. Yielding some fuel for a wood burner would also be a priority; the chestnut for example would make good logs. A few family gatherings with a campfire would be nice near the boundaries that lookout to rural West Sussex. The kids could make fantastic dens here.    

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