Bluebells usually flower from late March to early May, but it does vary from year to year. If you are lucky to go through these woods during this time of year then you will be rewarded with a carpet of Bluebells.

This lovely quaint Church was built in the 12th century, replacing an earlier Norman building. The church is small, with a plain exterior. It has a low-pitched roof on the tower; it used to have a spire, but this was removed in 1790. The church has undergone many changes over the centuries; you can just see the last remains of the older, Norman church in the walled-in window on the North side of the nave. The only remaining 12th-century structure is the South wall of the tower. The outside walls are 13th-century.
