About Square Coppice
The walk through here takes perhaps thirty minutes at a leisurely pace, following established paths through the trees. There's real craft in what you're looking at - medieval foresters would have managed this wood for fuel and building materials, and that cycle of cutting and renewal has shaped what stands there now. It's subtle, not showy.
Walkers will get the most from this. Families with young children might find it a bit lean on facilities or dramatic viewpoints - it's woodland, not a theme park. But if you're the type who enjoys reading the landscape, spotting old management practices, understanding how land has been used over centuries, you'll find something worth your time.
It's free to wander, no barriers or gatekeeping. Spring's probably best - bluebells and emerging growth - but honestly it works year-round if you like that quiet, working-woodland feel. If you're based at Green Valley Yurts and Cabin nearby, it's an easy local walk that breaks up a glamping weekend without requiring a proper expedition. Worth the detour if you're already in the area, though don't expect Instagram moments.
