With lockdown restrictions having eased it is the perfect time to enjoy Hertfordshire s best spots for bluebells before their short-lived season ends in mid-May. Bluebells are found in ancient wooded areas and are protected under the Countryside Act (1981), which means it is illegal to willfully damage them so people must stick to the paths and take care not to trample on them.
Here are your top five spots for a dose of bluebells: 1. First on the list is
Whippendell Wood which is next to Cassiobury Park in Watford and is a large woodland area. The best parking for the bluebell woods is Whippendell Wood Car Park, Grove Mill Lane, Chandler’s Cross, Rickmansworth, WD3 4NA.
