Ashridge, UK. 28 April 216. Just after dawn at the famous bluebell wood at Dockey Wood, Hertfordshire. Over the last few years, the wood has become increasingly popular and has suffered damage from sheer number of visitors. This year, as well as building a new entrance gate and visitor corral, the National Trust is set to impose a £3 entrance fee from this May bank holiday to control visitor numbers and to provide funds to maintain the property and safeguard the protected bluebells.

Ashridge, UK. 28 April 216. Just after dawn at the famous bluebell wood at Dockey Wood, Hertfordshire. Over the last few years, the wood has become increasingly popular with visitors due to its easy accessibility and nearby car park and has suffered damage from sheer numbers. This year, as well as building a new entrance gate and visitor corral, the National Trust is set to impose a £3 entrance fee from this May bank holiday to control visitor numbers and to provide funds to maintain the property and safeguard the protected bluebells to avoid further damage caused by excessive foot traffic. © Stephen Chung / Alamy Live News
