A bluebell walk near Chance Wood, Stourton

Not all walks have to be long and challenging. This is only half a mile - but what a half mile!
Walking down the path towards Chance Wood, past the old stone-walled garden.

The gate and sign for Chance Wood. But no need to go in there today.

There are bluebells on the main path...

...and all through the woods. 

Everywhere.

They're not quite at their best yet, but still they are beautiful.

A tree has recently fallen. 

Looking back up through the woods, with the old rope swing, beloved of generations of children.

The path back up from the swing.

Pink bluebells!

These are honesty (and nettles).

Returning past the walled garden, there are swathes of forget-me-nots among the green.

Today's walk: park in Greensforge Lane, and take the footpath between the houses on the Bridgnorth Road opposite. The path takes you straight to thewoods in about 300 yards. Walk as far as you want, and then return by the same route. Should be even better in a few days time - say, the May Day Bank Holiday. Beautiful scenery for little effort. What more do you need for a great walk? 
But please, don't pick the bluebells. Leave them for everyone to enjoy.
