Subject: RE: Bluebells-where to photo them in Kent & E Sussex? From: Richard Bridge Date: 19 Apr 12 - 03:38 AM Court Wood ME3 7DZ - Higham . Park on the verge opposite Higham Garage on the A226. Go through the entrance used by the dogwalkers into the woods. Follow the path in. GO left at the first fork and up the hill. At the next junction turn right-ish down the hill and bear left at the bottom. Follow the path - you are very roughly parallelling Pear Tree Lane. You should finish up in the south west corner of the woods. Under the tree canopy you should find a carpet of blue. Not huge, but quite a nice shaded setting. You will technically be trespassing as the path is not a public right of way but all the local dogwalkers use it. It is however 10 years since I've been there. Or you could try the more famous Bluebell Hill, near Maidstone. |

There is a sign-posted walk southward towards Forest Row Village (used to be a railway). About a mile down the track is a field full of bluebells. They should be close to their best at this time. |

Either turn down the lane on the right at the top of Rowdow, or park at the top of Childsbridge Lane where it meets the Pilgrims Way and walk up. Keep a look-out for the ghost of me, 50 years ago! |
