Blundells Copse is a local nature reserve in the suburb of Tilehurst in the town of Reading, UK. The site is 5.55 hectares (13.7 acres) in size, and comprises a close growing, ancient woodland with a stream. The nature reserve is under the management of the Reading Borough Council and, along with Lousehill Copse and McIlroy Park, is part of West Reading Woodlands.[1][2][3][4][5]
Blundells Copse was part of an area formerly known as the Moor. In 1992, the site was designated a local nature reserve. In 2005, path widening and improvements were made to the reserve as of funding by Living Spaces and the Environmental Trust for Berkshire.[4][6][7]
