Normally one might expect to find bluebells in the shaded area within a forest, however it’s not always the case! In the Sallagh Braes, a small area in County Antrim above Ballygally and Cairncastle but below the tops of the Antrim Hills a gorgeous carpet of purple appears every May, some years the display is better than others.
This is a collection of photographs obtained on my visits during May of 2016 and 2019.
