What's on in Bucks, Berks and Oxfordshire in February
There's something so uplifting about seeing winter flowers pushing through the chilly earth to bring colour to our gardens again. It's a lovely time to visit gardens like Cliveden, Stowe, Hughenden and Greys Court as the delicate snowdrops give way to the bright colours of aconites, crocuses and daffodils.
Snowdrops near you
The best place to see snowdrops in Buckinghamshire is at Stowe Gardens where they carpet the slopes and valleys of the landscape garden, setting off the monuments and temples beautifully. On the Berkshire border is Cliveden, where you can see large islands of snowdrops in the Water Garden, near Blenheim Pavilion and throughout the estate. Chastleton is throwing open its gates early for bookable snowdrops slots where you can wander the Wilderness Walk and self-serve a hot cuppa.

From gentle strolls for little legs to longer hikes through the rolling Chiltern hills, these are some of the best walks in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.
