spinney
Tiny British woodland
A spinney is a small stand of trees or a thicket, typically with undergrowth.
The word is chiefly British and appears most often in rural contexts: The fox disappeared into the spinney.
A spinney is generally smaller than a wood or copse and may be deliberately planted as cover for game birds.
