National Trust Cymru has revealed the best spots for Bluebells in North Wales this Bank Holiday.
Now is the perfect time to enjoy a tranquil walk in some of the best spots for bluebells in Wales so, see these beautiful Springtime visitors in all their glory, before their short-lived season ends in May.
These are some of the best places in the region to enjoy a picnic in a magical bluebell wood or follow a winding trail through the countryside carpeted with swathes of nodding blue flowers.
The bluebell spots on this list are dog friendly, but please keep dogs on a lead and stick to the paths to avoid treading on the flowers, as they can take years to recover if trampled.

Bodnant Garden, Conwy
Bluebells carpet the ground under cherry blossom trees and flowering shrubs in the Glades. Head into Old Park meadow to wander amongst a sea of blue that stretches out beyond the dappled shade of the woodland glades reaching the riverside gardens of the Dell and Far End. From April to September, dogs are welcome on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Chirk Castle, Wrexham
Find a secluded bench under a magnolia tree amongst the bluebells in the formal gardens, or take a wellie walk from Stable Bank, following the blue waymarked trail across the estate to enjoy the best of Chirk Castle’s bluebell displays in the woodland. Dogs on a lead are welcome on the Woodland Walk.
Penrhyn Castle and Garden, Bangor
A sea of blue can be seen all around the gardens and woodland surrounding Penryn Castle in May. Follow the path that passes under the hanging boughs of ancient oak trees with spectacular views of Snowdonia and the North Wales coast. Dogs on a short lead are welcome and there is a choice of dog walking trails to spot bluebells.
Plas yn Rhiw, Llŷn Peninsula
Bluebells cover the woodland glades in this sheltered garden, showing off a spectacular display set against spectacular coastal views of Cardigan Bay. Dogs are welcome in the lower woodland only.
