Bluebell Time

These woodland beauties are in full bloom in gardens and woodlands throughout Kent and Sussex. Carpets of deep blue and a heady scent fills the countryside as winter is well and truly over.

Take a walk on the network of footpaths across the region and you’re sure to see some, or even just on the verges of many of the country lanes. Alternatively, head for one of the gardens open to the public with displays of bluebells - some even have special bluebell walking trails.
