When do blue bells flower? Are there any woods in the Cotswolds with bluebells?

Around the end of April. Loads of em!!

When do blue bells flower? Are there any woods in the Cotswolds with bluebells?
One of my favourites, start looking out for them towards the end of April, they should be in abundance during May, depending on weather an location.





You may like to take a look at the following site http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/cotswolds there's a gallery of pictures of the Cotswolds Way including Cranham Wood, Randwick Woods, Lineover Woods, Dowdeswell Woods. Also maps and information.


Looks lovely.

Blubells have a problem with the chalk of the Costwolds
Reply:april.
Reply:Yes there are woods there and bluebells will grow if the weathers OK.
Reply:Aren't they over the white cliffs of Dover - or something?
Reply:I presume you mean the British Bluebell instead of the Spanish that is grown in gardens and hybridises with the Natural Ancient Woodland (not ploughed for over 400 years) plant which forms dense carpets of sweet smelling nodding blue flowers in April nowadays instead of in May (as they did earlier in your lifetime) due to climate changes caused by the defects of the current economic system.


It is illegal to pick or disturb any native wild plant or animal so if you want to find out about what is near you contact the local council or join the local Wildlife Trust for regular guided walks.
Reply:In May you will find them in most fertile places
Reply:you can see thousands of bluebells in scotland , but as you may know its illegal to pick them....
Reply:There are lots of bluebell woods in the Cotswolds - generally not in coniferous woods though as they need the sun at some stage!


They will flower anytime between the end of April and early June depending on the weather - not only in the current year but also in the previous year. Remember, they are bulbs and the nourishment for one year's flowering is being stocked up in the previous year!
Reply:in spring ..there's an arboretum close to stow on the wold with a wood
Reply:I'd head for savernake forest , not a million miles form the cotswolds if the bluebells are out there'll loads there.
Reply:Around April, sorry I dont know about woods in Costwolds, but please remember it is illegal to take bluebell plants
