The bluebells of King's Wood






The spring bluebells are in full swing at this time of year, carpeting the floor of King's Wood, Challock. Getting the timing right for photography is important; leave it too late and the emerging foliage on the beech trees will get too dense and block sunlight.

The wood lies in the Kent Downs Stour Valley area, and is popular with walkers. Choosing a day and time - in this case early morning, and when most people are on their way to work - will find the forest largely deserted.

Bluebells in an English wood


It's a fine line between when the bluebells are at their best and the emerging foliage on the trees is just right to create a balance. In this instance I am a week or so too early, but it is still a glorious sight in King's Wood, Challock, Kent.
