Round Wood

Round Wood near Wells is one of the best locations in Somerset to find a carpet of Wild Garlic (Allium ursinum).  Each spring these white flowers cover the slopes of the woodland floor looking like a drift of snow.

The wood sits on the top of Milton Hill. Half the wood faces south, the other north.  During much of the day the south side is the best side.  However, in the early afternoon the sun looks around the side of the wood.  Its rays of light casade down through the wood causing the white flowers to glow in pools of evening light.
