Stunning Bluebell Carpets in Leeds

The last spring flowers to bloom in May especially bluebells makeup a breathtaking display of woodland carpets. One of the best place to see stunning bluebells in bloom in Leeds is Bramley Fall Woods known as the “bluebell wood” along Leeds and Liverpool Canal.

Location: 77 Town street, Bramley, Leeds, LS13 2ET

How to get there by bus?

To get to exactly where I took these photos, you can take the bus 33 or 34 from Leeds Bus Station and get off at Hawksworth Road stop after approximate 30 minutes long. Then it takes you another 17 minutes to walk from there, crossing Kirkstall Forge (train station) and keep walking, following the directions as shown on the wooden road signpost on the way until you finally reach Leeds & Liverpool Canal. From that point, you need to turn right and keep walking for 7 minutes. You will see canal locks named Newlay Locks. Bluebell carpets are another side of the locks where you will need to cross a lock to the woodland.

It is definitely a great day out with your family or friends to take a canalside walk or a woodland walk and enjoy magical bluebell carpets under big trees in the wood. Make sure that you bring some drinks and food with you because I bet you will not want to go home after arriving there. Enjoy your day out!
