Bluebells & Boars in The Forest of Dean

Today we headed to the Forest of Dean with the intention of riding our bikes, we loaded up the car and picked up a picnic on the way, on the outskirts of Whitecroft just outside Lydney, heading towards The Forest of Dean on the road from Tescos to Clearwell we were greeted by carpets of blue blazing out from the trees, the bluebells were highly evident from the road, we stopped in a layby and entered the woods, it was beautiful… As we walked through a family of wild boar (7babies) ambled past us, it was a fantastic and unexpected treat….

I don’t think the photos need words, the beauty explains itself…
I probably took way too many photos…

Here’s how our walk in the woods looked….

  1. How lovely! We are heading to Lydney at the end of the month for a few days- lovely place!

  2. Gorgeous photos…this is my neck of the woods, so to speak and I have yet to encounter a wild boar!

    1. beautiful pics, we do live in such a lovely place, but be couscous of the boar as they can be temperamental (after all they are wild animals) x karen

  3. hi
    I’d really like to visit-is there any chance you could mark on a screenshot of google maps where you parked? it would make it a lot easier to find for me!
    cheers
