Bluebells in Wembury Woods

We were hoping that there would be a lovely display of bluebells in Wembury Woods so we repeated the walk we did a few weeks ago from Wembury Village.

There were bluebells in the hedgerows and when we first entered the wood we could see bluebells in flower, but there were others still not fully out.  This meant the display was not as spectacular as it would be in a week or two.


Last time we did this walk the estuary was muddy and unattractive.  This time is was high tide, but the day was grey and cloudy so the view from the viewpoint was not spectacular.  It was unfortunate there were no bluebells by the estuary.

At the side of the bridge over the creek there were some bluebells, but unfortunately there were not out enough to give more than a light blue haze in the distant.  This would look lovely when the bluebells are completely out.


After we left the bridge to walk through Hollocombe Wood the path was a lot muddier and the bluebells even less out.  As we climbed up through Traine Wood they were hardly out at all.
