Bluebells ahoy! The azure-carpeted woodlands of Kent
Details
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!
Practical matters
The start and end of the walk is at Wye railway station in Kent. For those arriving by train from London, there is an 8.35 departure from London Victoria arriving at 10.05. A faster connection from London is available from St Pancras, leaving at 9.05, and changing on to the train from Victoria at Ashford.
You'll need a day return to Wye (Kent).
