Recently we had a free afternoon so I drove over to Pamphill which is a small village in the beautiful Dorset countryside. We easily found the small National Trust carpark and followed the path down through the fields. I wasn't quite we were going in the right direction but I soon spotted the woodland and got a glimpse of the bluebells in the distance.
Once we reached the wood, there were hundreds of bluebells carpeting the ground and the colour was so vivid. Elliot had loads of fun running along the paths and hiding behind trees!
The wood also contained lots of logs and things to climb on - perfect for an energetic 3 year old! And there was an abundance of sticks to collect along the way!
We finished our afternoon with a visit to a nearby farm shop for an ice-cream and a play on the swings!
Have you been to visit any local bluebells?

ReplyDeleteWe visited some today Elaine, the view was simply breathtaking! Glad Elliot had fun amongst the bluebells. Xx
ReplyDeleteWhat absolutely gorgeous pictures. We used to have a bluebell carpet in the woods near us when I was growing up, it's all gone now though :(

I'm glad you finally found an afternoon to visit a blue bell wood. It is something I like to do every year with my children, so we do have one backing right on to our deer field which makes it easier. Elliot Looks in his element there and what an interesting woods with the fallen trees to play on too. I hope this becomes an annual outing for you, I always think of the bluebells as the start of the warmer weather. Thank you for sharing with me on #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the little one playing and having so much fun. We've seen a lot of bluebells while out walking. #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteKeep forgetting Elliot's the same age as me! He looks so grown up now! Those bluebells look wonderful, we visited Micheldever woods in Hampshire last week and they were stunning too! #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteI love a Bluebell wood, the blue haze is something really special. Looks like someone else enjoyed it too! #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I don't think I've seen a bluebell carpet for years and years. This is fantastic and those photos - you must get them printed! Elliot will love to look back on days like this. So simple and yet that's what makes memories.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up with #daysoutwithatoddler - see you next month!
Beautiful pictures - I love bluebells, so pretty. Thanks for linking up to #justanotherlinky xx
ReplyDeleteI can't think that i have ever seen that many bluebells myself. They are around for such a short time, but make an area look so different when they are around. Looks like a great place to visit and perfect for a fun toddler adventure! #daysoutwithatoddler
