Borthwood Copse, near Sandown, Isle of Wight, England is a piece of woodland owned by the National Trust and is a fragment of the medieval forest which covered most of the eastern end of the Island. Borthwood Copse was originally a royal hunting ground. It was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1926 by Frank Morey. He had purchased it a few years earlier to preserve it for wildlife. Subsequent additions have added to the land and it now covers a total of 60 acres (240,000 m2).
