Dinton Copse is a rare combination of open meadowland and a copse of birch, encompassed almost entirely by mixed native broadleaved trees, offering a great sense of privacy as a personal retreat. Nestled away near the quant village of Teffont Magna in Wiltshire, the land lies within the Cranborne Chase AONB, itself characterised by unspoilt countryside and a rich historical and archaeological heritage.

The entrance to the land can be found at the end of the access track where a generous pad of hardstanding allows for vehicular parking. A ride stop marks the entrance, beyond which a grassy ride draws you into a section of open meadow. Blooming rhododendron offers a flash of vibrant purples and pinks both here at the entrance and throughout the land.

The open land, upon which natural colonisation has already begun to take place, offers a rich opportunity for those interested in tree planting and rewilding. The open space is a canvas upon which a new custodian could shape and nurture the land, with the planting of fruit trees, nut trees, woodland shrubs and native trees all possible. Foxgloves and other wild flowers punctuate the grasslands.

The copse of birch trees can be found in the heart of the land, offering the promise of mature woodland to come. One can meander along paths throughout the trees which offer seclusion and shady spots on hot summer days. For those interested in forestry, there is ample to scope to thin, clear and plant anew to further diversify the land. To the north of the copse can be found two old pig shelters, useful structures for storage or setting up dens.

There are a number or private paths which weave throughout the land, including near the southern boundary where rhododendron present as a wall of colour. At the western tip of Dinton Copse can be found the most mature trees, where the canopy forms a shaded enclave; an ideal spot for pitching a tent and a campfire.

Dinton Copse would be of interest to those who are looking for a mixed parcel of land in a wonderful location with a great sense of privacy. The diversity of habitats make it an ideal spot for those looking for a conservation project and space to spend time with friends and family.

In terms of finding the meadow, once you have arrived at the main double metal gates at the entrance, please carefully climb them and head all the way along the access track through the woods. The stone track will then continue to your left across the open land. Continue all the way to the end where the entrance to Dinton Copse will be in front of you.
