Ramalley Copse
Ramalley Copse
The name "Ram Alley" appears in maps and documents as far back as the 16th Century. Cherries were harvested here during the 17th 19th centuries, and wild cherry trees can still be seen in the copse.
The ancient art of coppicing has probably been practiced here since medieval times and still continues today, producing a rich mosaic of different habitats. The sheltered glades of the copse attract many butterflies, whilst birds nest among the denser thickets.
