We went to see the bluebells but probably a week or two too late to see them at their best. Lovely area to walk through, popular with dog walkers, but easy to get away from them and get yourself lost for awhile. We had to look for the railway line to find the footbridge to get back to the car.…

We were visiting friends who live nearby and decided to walk in the woods. Spring was finally arriving so the trees were lush with new leaves, bluebells were adding colour and birds were singing. It was a glorious experience to be so immersed in the country in such close proximity to the nation's second city. The fact that you can also access the Earlswood lakes is another massive bonus. Stunning and so good for your mental health…

Clowes Wood has probably wooded since the last ice age, though it was almost cleared of trees in the early 1900s. It is cut through by the Birmingham to Stratford railway and habitats found here today include heathland, woodland, and wet meadow."…

Adjacent to the ever popular Earlswood Lakes, these woodlands are a delight to walk round at any time of the year, especially during the spring when there is a mass of flowers carpeting the floor, particularly bluebells in late April/early May. The paths are extremely good, so that even if it is wet they do not become boggy, unlike around the lakes. There are far fewer people here than at the lakes, and you are not at risk of being hooked by a fisherman casting his line.…
