Bluebell Woods in and around Bath

It’s that time of year again where we’ll be blessed with a carpet of purple in the woodlands around Bath as the bluebells crop up again. Whether you’re looking for the best possible photography opportunities or you just fancy a walk through the sweet-smelling violet woodlands this Spring, here’s where you can find them in Bath!

Leigh Woods

Although it’s a bit of a drive out of Bath and into Bristol, Leigh Woods is well worth visiting if it’s bluebells you’re looking for. Based just a stone throw away from the world-famous Clifton Suspension Bridge, Leigh Woods makes a fantastic walk for families, couples and dogs and is a hotspot for photographers. There are various picnic spots too so you can sit down, put your feet up and take in the fresh air and bluebells. 

Location: Bristol, BS8 3QE

Vincients Wood

Vincients Wood is an easy drive towards Chippenham and makes a fantastic afternoon out for all the family. Although the nature reserve is fairly small and unknown to most local people, it's a lovely circular trail and has several picnic spots and seating areas. As well as a gorgeous carpet of bluebells on show, the woodland has thousands of years of history, dating back to the 1600's. 

Location: Access via Brittain Close, Chippenham SN14 0UE
