Bluebells at Lanhydrock

As we drove up to Lanhydrock we saw bluebells in the hedges.  There were even more as we walked from the car park to the Reception.  The woods on the right are called Bluebell Woods and this is an appropriate name - they were carpetted with bluebells.

We walked down the hill, and noticed bluebells in the fields on either side.  We started by going into the gardens that surround Lanhydrock House.  The formal gardens at the front were beautiful, even though the tulips were fading.


The gardens were looking magnificent with the vibrant colours of rhododendrons and azaleas, often with bluebells underneath them.





We climbed up to the Higher Garden then left the gardens to walk through woods down to the River Fowey.  There were bluebells bordering the paths and bluebells in the woods.



We walked down to Respryn Bridge then turned back and made our way back to Lanhydrock through the Great Wood.  Again there were bluebells everywhere.
