From a distance Acorn Coppice looks like a Scots Pine plantation with deciduous trees on its flanks. In this fairly level landscape it occupies slightly higher ground. The choice of pine would fit with a report of poor soils. The hedgerow across the middle of the photo marks the course of a brook which can only be the infant River Blythe, here flowing north (right to left). In the foreground is a feeder of hay for horses. The keeping of horses and ponies is abundant in this countryside: more horses than people possibly.
