Earlier this week, along with a good sized contingency from the Wells Tuesday WI, I went on a memorial walk which was planned as a circular walk from The Bishop's Palace in Wells. Some members chose the shorter version, and I along with a few decided to make the whole circuit, but found that we had to made a short cut and took a path through a little piece of woodland. We were in a hurry at that stage, but I could tell that it would be well worth a return visit.
Mr S was easily persuaded that for this week's date day, it would be a walk out from home via The Bishop's Palace to view their primrose bank, and enjoy a drink there and then to these woods. The previous week we had had a muddy walk through Tor Hill woods but had been disappointed that we could not find any wood anemones. To think we have lived in this area for several years and had walked and cycled many times along the Strawberry Line, but had not been aware of the beauty these woods hold.
I only got out my phone during the last few minutes in the wood, and saw many different wild flowers. These are just a very few.
English Bluebells in patches
