The Bluebell Walk
Since 1972 the Arlington Bluebell Walk and Farm Trail based at Bates Green Farm has developed into seven interesting walks over three working farms.
A circular walk of 800 metres or half a mile in Beatons Wood has been made suitable for wheelchair users. This is where you see white anemones followed by the vistas of bluebells, established over centuries. On this walk there are seats for you to enjoy the peace and tranquility of this oak and hornbeam ancient wood. Along the walks there are signs illustrating the flora and fauna of the countryside for your information.
At neighbouring Parkwood Farm (2.75 mile walk there and back), milking of the large dairy herd can be seen from a special viewing gallery every afternoon between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM
At Primrose Farm there is a horse livery, also this is where the young cattle are reared.
The Grand Book Sale is an annual event held usually on the first Saturday in April together with the usual monthly Coffee Morning. A light lunch is available from 11:30.
All books left at the end are donated to the Charity Book Sale held at the Bates Green Farm during the Bluebell Walk event.
