What’s new?

  • It was a welcome relief to go back to Wildhams Wood in West Sussex and see that the woodland had recovered from recent forestry work. The bluebells and wild garlic are blooming.

  • If you are going to Crab Wood, near Winchester, to see the bluebells you can follow our circular walk and use new details about how to find a farm shop cafe nearby.

  • What was once a linear walk at Breamore, has now become an absolute show stopper of a walk with bluebells, cafe, historic home, museum and miz-maze. This walk really shows the best of the English countryside.

  • I have updated our bluebell walk at Stoke Park Wood, Bishopstoke, and it now includes a family friendly pub and an extra bluebell wood!

  • A little change to this route at Whitchurch means you can now start it at the silk mill and pass a play area. This one has been really popular on our social media, so have a look and see why.

  • Path improvements mean that this walk around the Chidham Peninsula in Chichester Harbour National Landscape can now be done at low or high tide.
