Wandlebury is at its enchanting best at this time of year, dressed by frosts, mists and low sun.
The yew guardians still cling to the embankment of the ring, ready to uproot and defend
The site dates back ~2,300 years to Iceni tribes, but the ring fortification was dramatically extended in the Iron Age.
The main ditch is reminiscent of those romantic holloways Robert Macfarlane writes about … “a glimpse into the shade world”
But in early spring, Wandlebury is awash with snowdrops: round the ring; through the orchard;
Across the central plateau
Tall, shimmering and swaying in the breeze,
Milky drops
The woodland floor surrounding the ring is a patchwork of sunlight and swaths of glowing aconites
And if you keep going … along this tantalising beech avenue … you reach a Roman road. Time travel all in a dog walk!

Enchanting is the right word!
I love any kind of wood, but the light makes this one so romantic.
The beech avenue is my favorite view, despite the appeal of the flowers.I like the way the shadows lace together the two sides of the road.
Thanks. That avenue looks wonderful in any weather. I’ve taken lots of photos of it over the years. There are some nice photos of that view in fog, with trees and runners emerging out of the gloom.
This was truly magical. I wonder what your dog spotted? Spring flowers are the most appreciated. Thanks for this glimpse.
Truly wondrous – the stirrings of spring are such a delight. Thanks for sharing your walk!
You are welcome!
Beautiful pictures, a lovely place to walk the dog.
Indeed. It is strictly on lead though, ‘cos in the pastures between the trees you will find Highland cattle, rare breed sheep etc. Even more to see and enjoy!
Beautiful, other worldly! Enchanting like Sherwood Forest.
Thanks. It has been years since I’ve visited Sherwood, but exactly! Woods and forests always have a special atmosphere to them.
Great place
Definitely and it’s fortunately rarely very busy.
