Fabulous Bluebell woods near Weston-super-Mare

For one of the loveliest British Springtime sights head for the bluebell woods just a short drive from Weston-super-Mare. The bluebell wood just up the road out of Goblin Combe is a particular favourite and the carpet of flowers there can even be seen from the roadside. Prior's Wood, near Portbury, is another favourite with wonderful bluebell displays in Spring. Here, you might also be fortunate enough to see elephants as well while you are bluebell spotting as one of the areas rich with the flowers backs onto Noah's Ark Zoo Farm.
