Woodland Walk, Poynton Coppice

Poynton Coppice is thought to have been continuously wooded for thousands of years and so, is classed as an ancient woodland. Part of the Coppice is privately owned, but an 8-hectare section is owned by Cheshire East Council and is managed with wildlife in mind. The woodland management strategy includes the reintroduction, in part of the wood, of the traditional practice of coppicing. http://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/leisure,_culture_and_tourism/ranger_service/countryside_sites/macclesfield_area_countryside/poynton_coppice_lnr.aspx - Cheshire East Council
