The flowers bloom each year in May

A beautiful carpet of bluebells has sprung up on the Shropshire-Herefordshire border.

Photographers have been flocking to capture images of the view at Mortimer Forest, near Ludlow.

The eye-catching wildflower usually blossoms each year in May and is protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.

The species can be spotted on Climbing Jack Common at the site, which is run by Forestry England.

Drone images taken by Shropshire-based photographer Lukazure have shown a huge sweep of the area covered in bright blooms.
