Bluebell season
The bluebells are out, and our local woodlands are carpeted in deep blue and filled with fragrance for just a couple of weeks. Dockey Woods near Ringshall is a popular spot, but the ecosystem is suffering from overtourism. The National Trust have introduced admission charges at certain times to manage numbers, so you may want to visit other more secluded spots to experience this spring wonder. Many woodlands near Berkhamsted have hidden bluebell spots, so take a wander to see what you can find. We’re not going to recommend any specific woodlands, as this risks encouraging hordes of visitors, but why not pick up a Berkhamsted Citizens Association footpath map in Waterstones and start exploring!
