Bluebells brighten county in time for bank holiday

Vibrant violet carpets are stretching out across green spaces and woodlands all over England as May springs into action.

The nodding heads of bluebells can be discovered in ancient woodlands in April and May and can grow up to 50cm tall, according to The Wildlife Trust.

Sunbeams danced across Gloucestershire this week, casting a warm glow on floral spectacles across the county and we have received plenty of evidence of this from our Weather Watchers.

This bank holiday weekend you may want to go out and see these beautiful blooms for yourself so these snaps may serve as inspiration for a walk.
