Britain's May-blossom walks
Hawthorn, blackthorn, cherry — late spring at peak.
May is the month England is at its most reliably beautiful. Hawthorn (the May-tree itself) blooms in hedgerows the first two weeks of May; blackthorn earlier; cherry across most of southern England. Best walks: any North Downs Way section, the Cotswold Way out of Stanton, the West Highland Way's lower lochs section.
