Winning tip: Amazed by the mizmaze, Hampshire
My favourite place to take in bluebells’ beauty and scent is Breamore Woods in Hampshire. The public footpath takes you through the main gates of Tudor Breamore House, past the house, stables and clock tower, then uphill through woodland carpeted with bluebells on both sides. As an added bonus, when you emerge from the trees after a mile or so, the view opens out over buttery yellow rape fields and distant farmland. At the very top of the hill is the strange, ancient turf Breamore Mizmaze. I take a turn round that, then it’s all downhill, back through the bluebells and perhaps a cup of tea at the cafe.
