Firestone Copse
Firestone is an attractive area of forest, notable for its wide-ranging tree species, from Oak to soaring spires of Grand Fir.
From the car park and picnic area, visitors may explore way-marked trails to Wootton Creek or delight in flower rich grassy rides. In summer, these are particularly good places to glimpse the many butterflies found here; amoungst them White and Red Admirals, Marbled Whites, Small Tortoiseshells, Gatekeepers and Fritillaries.
How to get there:
Firestone Copse is part of The Forests of the Isle of Wight. Ryde is the nearest town or village.
Follow the minor road from Kite Hill on the A3054 just before Wootton Bridge.
