It’s the time of year when a walk in the woods or even your local park may be brightened up by bluebells.

There are plenty of places around Worcestershire to see these beautiful flowers - and we’ve rounded up a few of them for you.

A thank you to our Worcester News Camera Club members for some of the pictures we've used here.

Clent Hills

The Clent Hills, always a popular walking spot, are a great place to see bluebells in the spring. They tend to be of the English variety and can be found throughout the woodland areas and at the side of the footpaths.

You’ll be able to enjoy the bluebells whether you stick to the pushchair-friendly paths nearer the car park or decide to venture further across the hills.

You don’t have to leave Worcester to find beautiful carpets of bluebells in the woods.

Nunnery Wood is a great place to spot them. There are plenty of paths that take you on various routes around the woods.

You can even combine the woods with a walk along a stretch of the recently-launched Wild about Worcester Way.

And Worcester Woods Country Park is right next door, with parking, a cafe and children’s playground.

Shrawley Wood

One of the largest small-leaved lime woodlands in the country, Shrawley Wood also offers spectacular displays of bluebells in the spring and summer.

The woods, near Ombersley, have a circular walking route allowing you to explore and there are good pubs nearby including the Lenchford Inn and the Holt Fleet.

No list of places to see bluebells in Worcestershire would be complete without the Malvern Hills.

Jubilee Drive is a popular spot among photographers and Instagrammers, and is a short walk from Black Hill car park.
