Adcombe Wood & Woodram Copse

This steeply sloping wood is part of the scarp woodlands overlooking Taunton Vale in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The wood is part of a site of special scientific interest, thanks to some fine examples of broadleaf trees for which the area is noted. Mainly high forest, with small areas of coppice and scrub woodland, here you can see ancient woodland, oaks planted in the 19th century, and abandoned common land, now dominated by dense patches of hawthorn.
