Bluebell Walks

Bluebells in Clapham Wood

Sussex has a profusion of bluebell woods situated right across the county. The best time to see bluebells is usually from early/mid April to early May, with a peak at the end of the flowering season in April/May but only a week separates stunning carpets of blue from the disappointing fading green of setting seeds. They also tend to flower later after a cold winter.

Here’s a selection of walks during which you can encounter bluebells along the way:

• Arlington and Abbot’s Wood
• Weirwood Bluebell Railway Walk
• Three Circular Walks in Angmering
• A Woodland Walk at Nymans
• Bluebells & Blackbrook Wood
• Butchers Wood, Hassocks and Keymer
• World’s End Patching Walks
• Stanmer and Ditchling Beacon

Try also Costells Wood in (Scaynes Hill) and Kiln Wood (Chailey).

There are also a couple of very good bluebell woods that are available to visit for a small entrance fee:
