The bluebells of Badby Wood

11 miles circular walk through beautiful Northamptonshire countryside, often using the Knightley Way, passing through undulating farmland, historic villages and woodland. Fawsley, Preston Capes, Snorscomb, Everdon, Newnham, Badby. 

Badby Wood is renowned for its spectacular, dense carpets of native bluebells that bloom in late April and early May, transforming the 117 acres ancient woodland into a vibrant violet-blue landscape. The flowers grow under a canopy of oaks, creating a scenic, aromatic sea of blue that draws numerous visitors for spring walks. We will take advantage of cream teas or tea and cake served in Badby village hall, immediately followed by peak time viewing of the bluebells in the wood, a magical and peaceful experience.
