Grue Copse presents a rare chance to own a large, broadleaf woodland with sweeping views across the Devon countryside.

Accessed via a steep track from the farm gate, the route then follows the ridge of the hill to the western edge of the woodland. A network of wide internal tracks provides good access throughout the site, making it well-suited for woodland management.

The canopy is dominated by oak, sycamore, and ash, with hazel, beech, cherry, and the occasional spruce adding variety. As with many woodlands, some of the ash trees are affected by dieback, offering an opportunity for active management. For those with an interest in forestry, ash makes excellent firewood and could offer a meaningful financial return. The site also has the added benefit of a running water source. 

The topography is varied—while the northeast corner features sloping ground, most of the woodland is level. Beyond the main tracks, overgrown but passable paths lead deeper into the woods, opening out into several clearings ideal for camping or other woodland activities.

Grue Copse is completely secluded, surrounded by open farmland, and has remained largely undisturbed for years. It offers great potential for someone seeking a quiet, rewarding project in a private setting.

The nearby towns of Crediton and Tiverton provide essential amenities, while Exeter, Dartmoor, and the coast are all within easy reach for broader exploration.

The ward is Way, and the County Council is Devon

Boundaries: The boundary is fenced on all slides and borders open fields. 

Access: 4x4 vehicle access is possible all year round via a shared locked gate. Parking is possible at numerous points within the woodland.
