all day
Fantastic Bluebell displays through the Brampton Woods.
Please use the leaflet pictured (double click the picture to enlarge), provided by the local group, which shows the main bluebell areas (but this was when they first came out now they should be everywhere)
Brampton Wood is the second largest ancient woodland in Cambridgeshire and is at least 900 years old. The first records date back to the Domesday Book. The trees include aspen, oak, ash, field maple and birch. The entire wood was once clear felled and has since naturally regenerated. Some areas are now coppiced and provide a habitat for dormice.
Plants to look out for include primrose, water purslane, wood spurge, common spotted orchid and devil's-bit scabious. Wild pear is a native but uncommon species and two specimens are found on the wood perimeter path with a number of others nearby.
Location: 1.5 miles west of Brampton, on minor road to Grafham Village Cambridgeshire
For Sat Nav use PE28 0DB and continue west, away from A1, for 3/4 mile
Please note this is not buggy friendly. Dogs are allowed but on a lead as this is special conservation site of scientific interest. If it does rain you will need wellies as the site has only just dried out.
I highly recommend you go as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.
