Overview

Booking Required 

We have arranged a short walk leading to a private visit  to Perivale Wood Local Nature Reserve (near Perivale Station)  in order to enjoy the magnificent display of flowering bluebells. The Reserve occupies 27 acres, within which there are 18 acres of ancient mixed oak woodland where the bluebells thrive.

Normally access to the Reserve is only available to members of the Selborne Society (owners of the Reserve), but the Society arranges special public  Open Days and private visits during April just for the bluebells.  The cost for the visit is £5 per person which must be booked in advance.  No attendance without booking. 

There will be a short walk to get to the Reserve where the visitors are free to explore the Wood at leisure.
