© Licensed to London News Pictures. 24/04/2019. Rannerdale UK. The Rannerdale Bluebells have burst into life weeks early near Crummock water in the Rannerdale valley. The native Bluebells, a remnant of ancient woodland is under threat claims the National Trust. In the last four years the National Trust and their tenant farmer estimate that nearly 25% of the bluebells has been lost through trampling by visitors who don’t stick to the footpaths. If a bluebell’s leaves are crushed they die back, as the leaves cannot photosynthesise to feed the plant. It can take the bluebell years to recover. Photo credit: Andrew McCaren/LNP
