Old Hills, Callow End, Worcestershire, Circular bluebell walk.

The best time to go on a bluebell walk is the first two weeks in May if you get the chance.

The main path with horses.

If you are looking for the perfect bluebell walk, about twenty minutes walk, no real steep sections, then this is the walk for you.  Park in the second car park on the road out from Callow End, ( on the right hand side). Walk along the main path, and about 100 meters on the left in a kissing gate. This will take you across a field with sheep in.

Sheep and lambs in the field.

The fallen tree.

Just follow the yellow arrows, but if you feel a little lost look out for the fallen tree, and the little bridge you are looking for is just behind the log.

The bridge over the stream

Wild garlic, almost in flower

You now walk along the side of the stream, If you are lucky the wild garlic will be in flower. They look to me rather like peace lillies, and although very garlicky, I quite like the smell.

The field with Malvern Hills behind.

As you look across the field you can see the Malvern Hills in the distance.

There is then a metal farm gate, which you go through, and on your right is the gate you then go through into the blue bell wood. The

 blue bells plants are already so thick on the

 floor of the wood, that this years display is

Dense bluebells in the wood.

 guaranteed to be amazing. Remember the 

first two weeks in May is when you want to 

visit. At some time in that fortnight I will do

 the walk again and blog the pictures of these

 delicate beautiful oh-so English flowers.

The wood

It is a very beautiful wood

When you come out of the wood

The dead tree

 you cross a field. Head towards

 the dead tree, and the little gate

 you are looking for is just behind

 it. Once through the gate there is

 another gate just to your right.

 Go through there. Take the main path,

 and then keep to the right and you are

The field with the dead tree

 back on the Old Hills "proper". You 

will pass a sweet bench and a few 100

 yards further on there is a patch of 

gorse. Then you are back on the main

 path that leads back to the car park.
