WOODLANDS across Berkshire are now covered in a carpet of bluebells this April.
The beautiful blue flowers are one of the greatest highlights of Spring, creating an enchanting backdrop for your walks.
And with the weather staying dry with sunny spells, it is the perfect time to enjoy a tranquil walk in the woodlands before their short-lived season ends in May.
