This is the Home Page.
Have a look at the Natural History Museum website for detailed information on Bluebells.
This website is of the story of our garden and our life with it, well, it’s not just a garden it is actually a seven acre smallholding that happens to be a wood, with a few streams crossing it, it teems with wildlife and is hard work but we love it. We are retired now and it was always our dream to live in North Wales, having a Welsh family and one of us being born in Wrexham. One day about seven years ago, after many years of searching, we decided to buy this property. The location of our wood is in the Vale of Clywd about 1000 feet up in the hills and alongside a large forest. We noticed after we had been here for a while that bluebells were beginning to grow in the wood after my wife had cleared the understory and thinned some of the trees, hence the name of the website "Bluebellwood" which we started as a hobby. We hope that you will enjoy our ramblings about what we are doing and what is happening throughout the year. We will mention what is happening locally on occasion just to give a flavor of our life in the Welsh Hills. Our cottage it was built in about 1700 and was part of the Chirk Castle Estate until, along with other farms etc it was sold by the Myddleton family. We don’t know when it was sold but it has had numerous Tenants and Owners before us some listed as “Gentleman” or “Clergyman” , according to our old records most of these were of independent means. If they were tenants there were strict rules to be observed regarding the gardens, boundaries and animals, Cattle, Sheep etc…….. All really interesting!
