One of the best walks to see bluebells is a circular route that starts at the car park at the top of Wendover Woods, and it is where I went on Saturday. The bluebells cover a large area on the way to the top of Aston Hill. The walk then goes past the mountain bike section of the woods before heading down Aston Hill itself. Across the fields and then the long drag up to the top of Pavis Wood. It is here that there actually footpaths created through the bluebells.
The route then picks up The Ridgeway and follows this back to the start. About 5 miles in all, a great morning's walk. The beech trees are just coming into leaf, the younger trees are all out, but some of the older ones still just have buds.
On Sunday I did my normal walk from Wendover and up Ridgeway coming into Wendover Woods the other way. On the path through the woods on the steady climb up, the bluebells were a narrow strip that followed the path to the top. But after crossing the road at the top, there is another area bluebells that is always superb.
