The world-famous bluebells of Kent

It is one of the most spectacular natural events this part of the world has to offer - the sudden explosion, for 2-3 weeks, of ancient woodland floors across the south of England into a carpet of blue as the bluebells come into bloom.

We'll aim to take full advantage of the season in this walk, which will stretch something between 12 and 15 miles (exact distance dependent on weather, mood, and inclination to stop in pubs) from the pretty village of Wye nestling in the Stour Valley near Canterbury, and loop up into the downs through various fine bluebell woods - with a hint of Kentish apple blossom to boot, too.

And of course pub lunch and possibly other pub stops too. Marvellous - see you there!
