Copthorne Park is a nature reserve in the west of Shrewsbury, despite being surrounded by a housing estate, it provides a home for a variety of wildlife and a place for people to get close to nature.
The depression that the park lies in was formed around 10,000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age. As ice sheets melted, they left huge blocks of ice on low areas which melted more slowly and made deeper holes filled with peat and water. These are known as ‘kettle holes’.
