| The Bluebells | ||||
| The sea of bluebells, and the beautiful scent, make this one of the most spectacular bluebell woods in England. We only have native English bluebells in the 5 acre Bluebell Wood - no Spanish invaders allowed! The bluebells are now starting to flower. The wood is open to walk around but we expect them to flower into the middle of May. Click here to view this year's photos. |

 Bluebell Woodland Walk |

| The lime green of the beech leaves provides the perfect canopy for the carpet of bluebells below and there is virtually no lower storey planting to interfere with the view. The sun filtering through the trees makes this a memorable sight. For many of our visitors the bluebells have become an annual pilgrimage. | ||||

 A Sea of Bluebells |

| In recent years the bluebells are usually in flower and at there best around the last week of April and the first week of May. The winter weather affects the timing though and the very cold March and April in 2006 delayed flowering by nearly two weeks! We will post our estimates for the flowering period in 2008 as it draws closer. | ||||
