April 2014 - week 7.5: Mottisfont estate walk


As I'd been tweeting about the Mottisfont estate walk, I thought I'd better take my own advice and walk it, so that's exactly what I did last weekend. Our Countryside Manager - Dylan Everett - says that this is the most beautiful time of year to see the estate...and he wasn't wrong!


This is the view of the Alms Houses near Dunbridge station and the River Dunn. Simply stunning.

The longer version of the walk takes about 3 hours and the real highlight was the endless sea of bluebells near Spearywell wood:


Bluebells as far as the eye can see - I don't think I've ever seen such a stunning display.

The trail takes walkers through ancient woodland, farmland and the village of Mottisfont, with views over the River Test and some of the best countryside in the UK. I know that I'm very biased, but I totally recommend it!
