Nothing heralds the arrival of spring quite like Bluebells, when the unfurling of violet carpets across our woodlands at last signals the end of winter’s grip. With peak Bluebell season tending to land – weather dependent – between April to May, this year’s National Walking Month (May 1-31) presents the ideal incentive to head into the great outdoors and seek this spectacle out.
The RSPB have cherry-picked some of the best Bluebell walks to enjoy across their reserve network, alongside refreshment suggestions for that well-earned snack or lunch at the end (or even the beginning!) of your Bluebell stroll.
