Description:

Since 1972 the Arlington Bluebell Walk and Farm Trail has developed into eight interesting walks over three working farms. One walk of 2/3 mile (1100 meters) through Beatons Wood has been made suitable for wheelchair users. This is where you see white anemones followed by the the vistas of bluebells, established over centuries. On this walk there are seats for you to enjoy the peace and tranquility of this oak and hornbeam wood. Along the walks there are signs illustrating the flora and fauna of the countryside for your information.

At neighbouring Parkwood Farm, milking of the large dairy herd can be seen from a special viewing gallery every afternoon between 3:00pm and 5:00pm. To get there involves a walk of about 1.5 miles with stiles, and you will have to walk back!

We have pens of sheep, pigs and angora goats for the children to see close to, but remember, pigs can bite!

It is nature who decides when Bluebells will look their best, so check out our website to see how they are being affected by this season's weather
