The bluebells at Rannerdale are some of the very best in the country, featuring quite regularly in even the national media. And quite rightly. These open hillside bluebells are stunning and now is a good time to take a look at them, though the area does tend to get crowded later in the day and particularly at weekends.

Thank you for sharing this post with its magnificent photos. I took Pearl for a walk in our local bluebell wood on Saturday – touch wood, the tourists haven’t discovered it yet.
