Description
Knapp Copse Local Nature Reserve has a rich mosaic of habitats that result in an attractive landscape once typical of this part of Devon. It includes ancient woodland, species-rich grassland, springline mire and a network of hedgerows to offer a home to a wealth of wildlife. There are a number of attractive walking routes through and around the reserve, including the East Devon Way. Two permissive paths through the site link with the East Devon Way, providing a selection of circular walks. The open access land of Gittisham Hill is directly opposite the LNR’s main entrance.
