Footbridge over stream in Blakes Wood This footbridge crosses the stream which runs through Blakes Wood. Trees have been growing in Blakes Wood for 10.000 years, since the last ice age. The site has been managed by man for many centuries using the technique of coppicing - cutting trees to the ground and then allowing them to regrow in following years. Traditionally this process provided a regular supply of timber for fences and firewood, but is now recognised as also being beneficial for wildlife by encouraging woodland flowers and providing an ideal habitat for insects and birds.

Bluebells in Blakes Wood Blakes Wood is famous for its springtime display of bluebells, covering many acres. The best times to visit are the last week in April and the first week in May.

8.4/10 Very Good! (2,621 reviews)
Good quality hotel, room nice. Staff, not so much. Got the job done but with no warmth, graciousness or attempt to make our stay enjoyable. Perhaps it was because I’m just back from America but I find the standards of UK hospitality are slipping dreadfully. And this was very clear at this hotel.
