Lowton's Copse (Bluebell Woods)
Bluebell Wood is the local name for Blagden and Lowtons Copses and stems from the display of bluebells in the spring. The woodland covers some 56 acres (22ha) and is Privately owned although there is public access over most of the woodland.
Bluebell Wood is a very important part of the local area both for its beauty in the spring and the sheer number of species the woodland holds.
Although many people think of the woodland as wild wood it has in fact been managed for may hundreds if not thousands of years. From archaeological features found in the woodland it looks as if it may have been used as farmland in the Bronze or Iron Ages meaning that this is secondary woodland, probably dating from as late as Saxon times.
