Snowdrop Walks

Visit our stunning Snowdrop Walks from early February onwards, our Gardens and Tea Room are open every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 12.00 - 4.00pm in Feburary and March.

There is a large collection of snowdrops mainly planted between the wars by Lady Grey, who was a great bulb enthusiast; over time, a number of natural hybrid’s have evolved and multiplied, and every now and then boffins descend on us and give them cultivar names on what to a layman might appear to be tiny differences. They are planted in large drifts throughout the garden, often with winter aconites, and make a fine display telling us all that spring is not far away.
