Turville and Ibstone Bluebell Walk
Details
Walk length 10 miles/16 km approx. Circular.
A picturesque walk between the villages of Lane End, Turville and Ibstone, taking in some fantastic Bluebell woods.
The Bluebell season is towards the end of April and early May, and some of the woods on this walk are excellent to see them.
Bluebells start growing in autumn and flower in the spring before other forest plants to avoid competition.
The date for this walk should coincide with a great spectacle of blue and purple flowering, however as this is a natural phenomenon we will have to see what we get on the day (the bluebell season is expected late this year).
