Palmers Rough, Nature reserve in Shirley, Solihull, United Kingdom.
Palmers Rough spans 7.3 hectares of land with two woodland sections, Palmers Coppice and Squires Coppice, connected by open grassland with sports facilities.
The woodland appears in the Domesday Book documentation, confirming its existence for more than 900 years in the English landscape.
Local sports teams regularly use the two football pitches while families gather at the children's playground, creating a central meeting point.
Visitors can enter through Jacey Road and follow paths leading to Northbrook Road and Olton Road, with occasional muddy conditions after rainfall.
The eastern woodland contains a pond supporting rare plant species including Sphagnum moss and marsh cinquefoil alongside native waterfowl.
