Cheshire Wildlife Trust nature reserves

The Trust’s woodland reserves, many of which are 400-year old ancient woodlands, boast carpets of bluebells and other spring wildflowers.  Gowy Meadows near Ellesmere Port is one such example.

Rode Hall, Alsager

Every the Old Wood is taken over by a carpet of lilac haze. The estate’s delightful bluebell walk is one of the best in the county. The summer season at Rode Hall is expected to begin on April 7th, so you should be able to catch the bluebells before they go.

Combermere Abbey

The annual bluebell walk at Combermere Abbey was postponed in 2020 due to the pandemic, but in 2021, for the first time ever, the Combermere woodland walks with bluebells will be held over a 5 week period, as opposed to the usual one day a year.
Combermere Abbey plans to open the estate to local residents across South Cheshire and North Shropshire  – in line with Government guidance – to enjoy a stroll through the woodlands on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from 14th April until the 23rd May, with to the possibility of extending it, should the demand be there. Dogs are welcome (at no charge) and appropriate footwear is required. New for this year is online ticketing via the website, offering a limited number of tickets per walk to ensure lots of space and privacy. Tickets will be released 2 weeks prior to each event

Dunham Massey 

As the flowers in the Winter Garden begin to fail, bluebells replace them and provide a fine foreground meadow, while behind them standing resplendent through the trees, glimpses of the Manor House complete a picture postcard view. www.nationaltrust.org.uk/dunham-massey
