Bluebells at Old House Ground Plantation by munki-boy
Old House Ground Plantation
A late 19th Century plantation that seems to have been made around the time the reservoirs were constructed.
Now a small woodland area on the North side of Piethorne Reservoir that is very pleasant and presents many bluebells in Spring.
Old House Ground Plantation may be known as Bluebell Wood in the local area.
