NEW Wander among the Bluebells
WEDNESDAY 25 APRIL
There is nothing quite so quintessentially English, than a magical haze of soft bluebells sweeping along a woodland floor. We span three counties to see three spots famed for their display. We start at EMMETTS GARDEN, in Kent with magnificent views of the Weald, where slopes of bluebells seem to go on forever. Then we look at one of the few remaining classic bluebell woods in the country - GREAT EARLS WOOD in Oxted, Surrey. Under a canopy of sweet chestnut and oak going back to the 10th century you can watch bluebell spires unfurl. Our last stop, with lunch in the café, is the exquisite National Trust garden NYMANS in Sussex. There the gardeners will take us on an escorted walk through some of the loveliest swathes of bluebells you will ever see.
PRICE: £85 including lunch
START & FINISH: Tower Hill Tube Station
Time: 9.30am
