Bluebells - post your best places to see them here

[Hespera]

It's that time of year - the ones in Chiddingfold in Sussex are good and apparently there are lovely ones (as you'd expect) at Kew.

Where are the best bluebell woods near you?
TIA

ripley castle near harrogate,take the path straight down the side of the castle and follow it straight on for about half a mile and there is a lovely wood full of them

at the end of my garden, all round the badger sett

Middleton Woods, Ilkley, West Yorkshire

Grovelly Woods near Wilton, Salisbury also Duncliffe Woods near Shaftesbury, Dorset.

We had a lovely walk in Sidney Wood (near you, I suspect, Hespera) at the weekend. Other good places - Mogador (I mean the one in Surrey!), Chipstead, Groombridge Place (Kent), Nymans (Sussex).

I'm glad to hear the badgers are still going strong, Enid

(they came back!)

Hallgerda - I wish I lived near Chiddingfold! It's so lovely down there (apart from the boy racers on their way to/from the filming of Top Gear!!) We were staying with friends.
I'm in London (Q's Park) and haven't seen any here at all.
Anyone recommend somewhere for me to recapture the magic?

The bluebell wood at Knebworth House in Herts.
They have one day where they do a "bluebell tea"-it's lovely.

Enid-Badgers? You lucky thing.
My mum used to have a family visit her every night for food and when she died,my biggest concern was how they were going to cope.New owners of the house were not badger-friendly despite my best efforts to find ones who were

they are a bit of a pita - they dig holes all over the garden

the farmers keep trying to cull them

Wakehurst Place

My dd dug holes all over the garden at the weekend-felt like culling her myself

all round to pph's then
I woud like to know where to go in Oxon/Berks actually (Mrs Badger? Jackie No??)

I'm in London too, Hespera (Streatham to be precise). Most very local woods either don't have bluebells or have mainly garden ones or hybrids, sadly, hence the excursions into Surrey, Kent and Sussex.

Found this bluebell walk but not in London.
here's one in London but it doesn't say where.
Enid, your house sounds like something out of Enid Blyton

We went to the Winkworth arboretum this weekend - the bluebells were lovely (I don't really like azaleas but they had lots of those too).
