Andrew Brooks, the countryside manager for the Blickling Estate, said the bluebell display was not something you ever got used to.
He said: “When you walk up and you get this view of the bluebells you can’t help but be in awe of the view – it’s stunning.
“On a very sunny mid-afternoon it’s buzzing in here, literally with people as well as bees and hoverflies and all sorts of insects.”
When it was decided the woodland where the bluebells grow would be open to visitors, he said the team began managing the Great Wood rather than leaving it to grow wild.
He said: “In November, we clear the bramble from the area which helps us provide this uninterrupted view of the bluebells in the section… the thing that has the main impact is keeping people and dogs from trampling the bluebells.
“Since I’ve been here at Blickling it’s part of our year looking after this area and preparing this display, it’s close to my heart for sure.”
