Please keep dogs on a lead while enjoying the bluebells. Not only can dogs running through the flowers cause damage, but all parts of the bluebell plant contain toxic glycosides that are poisonous. You can help to look after bluebells for many years to come by: Following directional signage at all times Sticking to main paths Not allowing dogs or children to run into the bluebells Taking photos from paths or designated photography spots only Not picking bluebell flowers Bluebells are very slow to reproduce, and it can take around seven years for them to recover from damage. As tempting as it may be, bluebells are a protected species, and it is against the law to pick them as well as uproot or intentionally destroy them.
