Every year around the start of May, Lancashire is bursting with bluebells. Here are some of the best woodland walk locations to catch these illusive blue beauties across the county.
1. Calder Vale - This is probably my favourite spot for bluebell photography. It’s only a short walk through the woodlands, no more than a mile - but it’s a nice drive out to the village of Calder Vale, and it’s perfect for taking little ones for a short stroll, especially during bluebell season. The woodlands are teeming with nature, there’s a beautiful pond with lots of birdlife and fish splashing about, and the route walks alongside the River Calder, so your dogs can have a splash too!
2. Brinscall Woods - I actually grew up in this village, and the bluebells came out in force here every year. There’s plenty of walks in the area, including a cracking ramble up to Great Hill (listed on my website here;
Nevertheless, the bluebells aren’t too hard to find once entering the woodlands early May, highly recommend this spot for bluebell photography.
3. Marles Wood - located off the River Ribble in Ribchester, this is a stunning stretch full of bluebells with wild garlic as well. I intend on walking further down along the river before looping back once crossing the Ribchester bridge. Marles Wood is also right next to the field used for the Royal Lancashire Show around July each year.
4. Bowland Wild Boar Park - A bit of a ‘wild’ card is this one, especially as you’d need to pay to enter the park (open at the weekend, bank holidays and summer holidays). Bowland Wild Boar Park is a fantastic day out for families, with farm animal petting areas, the education centre full of exotic creatures, tractor rides, woodland trails and a busy cafe. The trail was filled with bluebells on my last visit in May, just magical.
They also have a newly built holiday park, aptly named Bowland Escapes, offering a number of accommodation types including: luxury lodges, shepherd's huts, safari tents, glamping pods and an incredibly unique ironage roundhouse. Check them out at www.bowlandesc...
5. Spring Wood, Whalley - Probably one of the best, well known spots for bluebells. Located in the town of Whalley near Clitheroe, Spring Wood offers some lovely woodland trails, well worth exploring. Note, the woodland is based on a hillside, so it’s not a flat walk by any means. Still, with easy, well marked trails, it’s definitely family friendly.
That’s just my top spots for bluebell walks - where are some of your favourite locations for bluebells across Lancashire? Do you have any bluebell locations outside of the county worth sharing in the comments? I’d love to hear your recommendations!

Do you love walking in bluebell season? Where are some of your favourite locations for catching these illusive blue beauties?
I adore bluebells. My absolute favpurite flower. As a child we used to go to a place we called Bluebell Wood, just outside Clitheroe on the way to Barrow.
oh that must be what is now called Spring Wood, no? That's around there. So nice!
ps. also my favourite wildflower ;)
@@LancashireLadWalks I'm not sure it is. I think Spring Wood is in or nearer to Whalley.
tockholes woods is another and sunnyhurst woods also
great suggestions Andrew!
Wow! Thanks so much for putting together this video. As an international visitor this is just the type of information I need. What a great video!
🙏🏻 thanks Del! I know its a bit late for 2024 bluebell season, but the information is out there now, for future years :)
Hi Tom, lovely bluebells and Henry looking gorgeous in his spring jacket! I was in Brinscall woods a few weeks ago and saw this spectacle for myself 😊
oh it was lovely wasnt it! Haha Henry is doing well, he always looks smart in his jacket, although its getting a tad warm for it now.
Hi Tom, maybe not a walk for your channel but have you walked Cuerden Valley- Henry would love it, and a brilliant new cafe there now
know it well, yes :) nice cafe indeed!
I was in Roddlesworth around a month or so ago and it was brimming with Bluebells, unfortunately didn’t many photos, nothing special anyway as I’m not too good at Woodland Photography.
Roddlesworth is fantastic, used to go in there a lot, just not been in for bluebells.
