Borthwood Copse, Protected woodland in Isle of Wight, England.
The 60-acre forest contains groves of ancient oaks, beech trees, and areas of coppiced sweet chestnut and hazel across hilly terrain.
Originally a medieval royal hunting ground, Frank Morey purchased and donated the woodland to the National Trust in 1926 for wildlife preservation.
The woodland maintains traditional coppice management practices, producing resources for various locations while preserving ecological methods.
Visitors can access the woodland through a car park on Alverstone Road near Queens Bower or via numerous footpaths and cycle routes.
From Kite Hill viewpoint within the copse, visitors can see Culver Down, the sea, and Bembridge Windmill through the eastern downs.
