Garston wood, Dorset.

Garston wood this morning. Go early if you want a parking space at the moment. The car park is quite small. Full by 10.30am but cars do park along the road too. Walk up to the lovely rapeseed field at the top first and then all the way do to the left (a little way back by the seat). Keep going and you will come to all the wild garlic too. At the second entrance turn left and then left again to going up through the middle (you are not near the road then and can enjoy the bird song). Turn right and walk through the area with the most bluebells (this is lovely for photographing the flowers or photoshoots and then left again, before passing through two gates to return to the car park. You will find this wood just north of Sixpenny handley, it's about 30 minutes from Verwood and is a very pretty ride through the yellow rapeseed fields.
