Inside Grove Copse
This copse covers a tiny area in a residential part of Christchurch. Nevertheless, it is an important part of nature conservation, and is maintained by the local council's countryside service, using mostly volunteer help. The copse is the remains of the Grove Farm Estate, and is estimated to have been wooded for at least 200 years.

Jumpers: playing field alongside the Stour
This bench provides a view along/across the river Stour, just out of picture to the right.
The field is partially in the parishes of Christchurch and Hurn – although the boundary follows the river, here it diverts and does a loop around the field suggesting that the river had a more meandering course in years gone by.
The rather amusing plaque is in memory of Keith Woolnough, 4.1.1940 to 20.12.1999 – Gone Fishing!
