map of Staffordshire's Yoxall Lodge bluebell walks

There are 5 Bluebell walks for you to enjoy, all clearly waymarked with directional signs and arrows to guide you. Along the Bluebell walks are signs about the trees and flowers for your information. Benches provide a resting place along the Bluebell walks for you to pause and savour the sights and sounds of the woodland.

We ask that you keep to the paths at all times in order to ensure the survival of these protected flowers as trampling on the leaves causes the plant to die as it is through the leaves that the plant gains its food.

Please spend as much time at Yoxall Lodge as you wish, enjoying the bluebells, peace, tranquility and Staffordshire's countryside at its finest.

green route The Gentle Walk follows the green arrows and is ½ a mile long.
This walk is as its name suggests and meanders through the lower part of Lodge Hill Wood. There is an abundance of bluebells and ‘white’ bluebells all around you giving a spectacular display.
blue route Lodge Hill Walk follows the blue arrows and is 1 mile long.
The short, sharp incline at the start of this walk is well worth the initial effort with a superb display of bluebells along the entire route. The magnificent old trees in this wood are worth diverting your eyes from the bluebells.
blue route Old Coppice Walk follows the light blue arrows.
An additional "loop" onto Lodge Hill walk. This path is undulating but has beautiful displays of bluebells and glorious views over open countryside.
red route Foxholes Walk follows the red arrows and is 1 ½ miles long.
Foxholes Wood is a beautiful mixed broadleaved woodland and as you exit the views over Yoxall Park are stunning with not a road or electricity pylon in sight.
orange route West Park Walk follows the orange arrows and is 2 ½ miles long.
West Park Walk rambles around rolling parkland known as West Park and leads into the Lake Walk.
yellow route The Lake Walk follows the yellow arrows and is a ½ mile long.
The Lake is home to several species of water birds including Teal, Mallard, Coot, Moorhen and Heron. Look out for the Kingfisher too. We have discovered native ‘pink’ bluebells on this walk whilst clearing the dense undergrowth.
