Every year, for a few short weeks in late April and early May, native bluebells bloom beneath fresh green canopies, turning many of Lancashire’s favourite forest floors into a shimmering carpet of violet-blue.

Here are three Lancashire based woodland walks that truly come alive during bluebell season, as recommended in the April edition of Lancashire Life Magazine.

Calder Vale, Forest of Bowland


Spring Wood, Whalley


Aughton Woods, River Lune
