5 of the best Bluebell woodland walks in Cornwall

Godolphin House

Bluebells come out early at Godolphin Estate, not far from Porthleven. Take a stroll through the woodlands and the estate where some of Poldark was filmed. The house isn’t open to visitors but children will love the Barefoot Trail and the property is open to dogs too.

Degibna Woods

Situated on the outskirts of Helston town and on the banks of the famous Loe Bar in the Penrose Estate is Degibna Woods. www.nationaltrust.org.uk/penrose/ An ancient woodland with walks on the outer edges of the bar and lead across the bar towards Porthleven. Follow signs to the Helston Hospital and take Degibna Lane all the way to the end to find the car park. This place is a hidden treasure and the place where locals go to collect bluebells and foliage that adorn the shops in Helston for the Celtic festival of Flora Day. www.helstonfloraday.org.uk
