Visitors can explore acres of wild bluebell woods, in the country estate of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, with stunning displays in Horsebridge Woods, Bloomers Valley and the Loder Valley nature reserve.

The cold start to the year means the carpets of bluebells, which are always a popular feature with visitors to Wakehurst, have bloomed two to three weeks later than in previous years.

Iain Parkinson, Wakehurst’s conservation and woodlands manager, said: “The bluebells are flowering later than usual, but it has been well worth the wait – they are looking stunning.

“New paths have also been opened through the bluebell woods giving good access for visitors.”
