It is a bit early though, they're normally late April/Early May.
I have seen a few this year though.
I guess the warm March and cold, wet April must confuse a fair few things,
though it seems a good one for blossom. The colder weather seems to have put a
brake on the over-advanced development seen during March, which is good if you
don't want spring to end too early.

Apparently it's not been a good year for bluebells - wrong kind of spring.

This afternoon I went to the Forest of Bere in search of Bluebells as
recommended by the Woodland Trust website [1]
However it didn't live up to it's 5 star rating, but it was quite nice
nevertheless - maybe I'm a bit late for Bluebells - there were some but not
that many.
So I've had a good wander and should be able to redo most main tracks (there's
also loads of little paths - which where never in before anyway - not that I
walked many of them).
What's all nice is the Forestry Commission allow you to cycle on *all* paths,
and horse riding is by permit only (tag as 'horse=permit' ?)
I'll remap it time permitting tomorrow morning (out and about tonight) plus
fixing the longer routes that go through it from previous outings / and renewed
knowledge.
I didn't go to the north parts of the Upperford Copse section though.
