Freston Woods, on the Shotley Peninsula just south of Ipswich, is a haven for watercolourists
and walkers at any time of the year. But at their respective times of the year, the managed
woodlands surround a sea of either bluebells, wild garlic or snowdrops (and probably loads of
flowers and plants I haven't seen yet) and becomes a landscape full of colour and smells to
appeal to any garden-lover. Whilst I don't count myself among the latter (too much like hard
work), even I can appreciate the sheer beauty of a huge field of bluebells. Only a field of
poppies is more moving, but that's more to do with their poignant connotation than the flowers
themselves. I can recommend a visit if you're in the area, but be aware there are no 'facilities'
and there's not much in the way of parking either, but that will only encourage you to get out
and walk in our lovely Suffolk countryside.
