Bluebells 2026

This morning I walked between The Ford and Eckington once again in my pursuit of traversing all of the local Rights of Way (RoW). I've visited the Eckington Park area several times now as there is a dense network of paths across a relatively small area. 

Today I ascended through Ladybank Wood and was impressed by the bluebells which were in full flower. The colours were far richer than those I saw in the nearby woods a few days ago. 

The woodland carpeted with bluebells

The area seems to be popular with dog walkers although the dogs I met were all well-behaved. There are many paths around field edges and through the woodlands in addition to the RoW so I had to keep my eye on my map to ensure I wasn't tempted to follow the plentiful desire paths.
