Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Severn Gorge Countryside Trust Geocaches

The Severn Gorge Countryside Trust manages 260 hectares of land on a 999 year lease, which includes over fifty per cent of the land within the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site which was the seat of the Industrial Revolution.
The Severn Gorge Countryside Trust works to balance the conservation and enhancement of landscape, wildlife and public access, and also to reinforce the cultural importance of the special areas under its management.
All of our landholdings are open to the public to explore and enjoy, and a network of waymarked paths and trails have been established through the woods and meadows of Ironbridge, Coalbrookdale, Jackfield, Coalport, Madeley, Barrow and Broseley.
Lloyds Coppice
Lloyds Coppice is a key component of the landscape of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site and provides a sweeping, heavily wooded backdrop to the northern slopes of the Gorge.

Like much of the Trust's landholdings, the coppice went through a period of intense industrial activity with the focus here on ironstone mining and clay extraction. This activity was so extensive that in the 18th century the wood was marked on maps as being an area of waste with a few scattered clumps of trees.

The woodland contains a small but important heath, home to such species as heather, adder and slow-worm and a pond, a rare wetland habitat in a woodland setting. This supports a population of great crested newts, a species of European-wide conservation importance.

Lloyds Coppice is traversed by a number of footpaths which are described in detail in the Trust's publication.Lloyds Coppice.
