The Magic of Spring

For a few short weeks in April and May, ancient British woodlands transform into a fairytale landscape as millions of bluebells bloom.

The UK is home to half of the world's dense bluebell populations. Here is where to see them.

Top Spots

Micheldever Wood (Hampshire)

Hallerbos (The 'Blue Forest')

Photography Tips

Visit at sunrise or sunset for the best light. Stick to the paths to avoid crushing the delicate flowers.
