Arlington Bluebell Walk opens - 26 stunning photos in the sunshine

A popular bluebell walk, which has raised more than £1 million for local charities, has opened up for its 52nd year.

Arlington Bluebell Walk, based at Bates Green Farm, opened on April 4 and will remain open until May 8.

In this time, it will host 26 charities.

Our photographer visited yesterday (April 8), when Willingdon-based charity Children With Cancer Fund were stewarding.

Most of the bluebells have yet to emerge, but the swathes of white wood anemones have created a ‘gentle and peaceful sight’, according to the bluebell walk’s website.

The website posts regular updates about the status of the bluebells – which is determined by the soil temperature.

It states: “The bluebells are emerging slowly, due to the cold nights and early mornings we are currently experiencing.

"It is still ‘hunt the bluebell’ in this oak ancient wood.”

Take a look at our photos below.
