<p>We did a 7-mile circular from Tring station, so probably this was part of it - I was following a friend who knew the way so I don't have a mental picture of the route. Lovely walk!</p>

<p>Problem is it's packed so no good if you want to commune with nature in solitude.</p>

<p>As you say understandable, the consequence of letting people roam freely was the trampling much of the edges of bluebells, I think it looks better than last year, did you do the <a href="https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/ashridge-estate/trails/old-copse-and-thunderdell-wood-walk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Old Copse Walk</a> from the Bridgewater Monument? </p>

<p>Dockey Wood is amazing but has a rather 'managed' feeling, with its carefully marked pathways. They are going to charge this weekend and next I believe. I understand why they've done this, but there are other parts of the Ashridge estate which feel more natural and are covered with bluebells this year as well - can't quite tell you where as it was part of a long walk we did.</p>

<p>Perivale Wood is open once a year on last Sunday in April for its show of bluebells. It's a short walk from Perivale Station on the Central line, about 45 minutes from Turnpike Lane.<a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2180423945?profile=original" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img class="align-full" src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2180423945?profile=RESIZE_710x"></img></a> More details on this …</p>

<p>This is the wood that's attracted some media attention due to NT decision to charge for access for the first time, partly as people were trampling the bluebells. I go every year to the Osterley ones and this year they're better than ever due to clearance of brambles enabling further growth and spreading.</p>
