The UK’s top lesser-known wildflower walks - Flying Flowers

Описание: Wildflower walks have seen a 300% rise in Google search popularity in the UK over the past year, with many looking to follow the flourishing footpaths of other trail-goers in aesthetic locations. Although, while some can spark inspiration, following the beaten path may result in crowds or battered blooms along the way.

UK trails are experiencing their busiest period of the year, from March to October after the clocks move forward, as six in 10 Brits plan to spend more time hiking, walking, or exploring nature thanks to the longer evenings.

City life doesn’t mean missing out on wild beauty. Many urban trails are bursting with wildflowers during spring and summer. Whether you’re wandering through Bristol’s Leigh Woods or tracing the canal paths of Birmingham, the pops of colour and scent of the flowers offer a moment of calm with their beauty and sheer variety.

And for those days when you can’t escape outdoors, flowers by post can bring an element of that nature-inspired serenity straight to your door.

But where can you go for the best wildflower trail experience? By no means are we suggesting you skip out on popular floral beauty spots, but rather you consider the less-reviewed trails that can spruce up your stroll with wildflowers and less chance of a crowd.
