Bluebells and Beech - May 2015


Most years in May, I take my camera on a circular walk from Wendover Woods to see the bluebells. Not far from the car park and there they are.

Across a field and you come to the top of Aston Hill. Past the mountain bike centre, the beech trees are luminous as they are just out into leaf.


Coming down the hill, there are some nice views across to Dunstable Downs in the distance and the end of the Chiltern ridge.


Across more fields at the bottom of Aston Hill, the path climbs up the next hill to Pavis Wood. Here there is a narrow path off the main Ridgeway that has been created through the bluebells. It never fails to be impressive.


Finally, I rejoin the Ridgeway where the beech trees are again quite superb.  A wonderful walk on a  mild, sunny Bank Holiday.
