Buckland Abbey

I had seen that the bluebells were out in the woods around Buckland Abbey so we decided to go and see them. In the past we have done the yellow, green and red walks around the Abbey grounds so this time we decided to try the longest walk - the blue walk.  There is also a letterboxing trail around this walk so we thought we would follow this so that we would be prepared when we take Oscar another time.

To begin with we were disappointed that we did not see many bluebells, however there were primroses, violets and wood anenomes.  We had seen many of these spring flowers recently as we have been out walking, but then we saw an unusual plant - a cowslip.

When we were about three quarter of the way around the walk and by the river we started to see bluebells on the banks above the path.

When we had finished the walk we went into the Cider House garden.  There were more flowers out today than when we visited last time and it was really pretty.
