Bluebell Flower and Fairy Trail launches at Fife's Hill of Tarvit Mansion and Gardens
A carpet of bluebells is set to transform the grounds of Hill of Tarvit this spring, as the National Trust for Scotland launches its Bluebell Flower and Fairy Trail.
Visitors to the mansion house and gardens near Cupar are invited to explore seven specially selected locations across the estate, each showcasing some of the finest bluebell displays in the region.
A gentle, family friendly fairy trail adds a touch of magic, encouraging children and adults alike to discover hidden corners of the landscape.
Alongside the trail, visitors can take part in a bluebell photography competition, open to all ages and abilities with participants encouraged to capture the beauty of the blooms.
Mark Armour, head gardener in East Fife for NTS, said: “This is a special time of year at Hill of Tarvit because we are very fortunate to have one of the best showings of bluebells in the country. They create an incredible natural display, and people come from far and wide to see them.
“Refreshments will be available in the Mansion House from Thursdays to Sundays, making it an ideal seasonal day out for families, walkers, and photographers. We’re delighted to invite visitors to experience it through the trail and photography competition and we encourage everyone to come and enjoy them.”
The trail and the photo competition run until May 16. All photo submissions must include bluebells taken onsite at Hill of Tarvit.
