Prior's Coppice | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
A woodland reserve teeming with wildlife and ancient atmosphere, Prior’s Coppice is a relic of the wildwood that once covered all of Leicestershire and Rutland. When you step beneath the trees, you can feel how old this remnant of woodland is. Some of the trees are several hundred years old and centuries of management have led to an ideal habitat for birds, beasts and butterflies (and botanists!).
Launde Woods | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust

The atmosphere is awe-inspiring, with a feeling of peace and grandeur.
