Last weekend we went backpacking for the first time. On Saturday afternoon, fully loaded with our three man tent and all our kit, we walked the 3 miles from Wormingford to our first campsite at Lower Dairy Farm near Nayland. The campsite was very rustic, right by the river a really nice spot.
On Sunday we walked the 6 miles fron Nayland to Little Ropers Farm near Assington. The route was lovely, following the St Edmunds way towards Arger Fen and on towards Assington.
On the way we met a couple who just been walking in a wood near Hullbacks Farm, they told us about the Bluebells in the nearby wood, so we took a detour to see them and I’m glad we did, they were amazing.

I don’t think I ever saw the bluebells at Bramhall park But I do I remember them at the woods which were on the way to the park at the back of the Golf Course near were we used to live. I think you could also access them from Robins Lane???
