Best places to see snowdrops

Snowdrops can be found thriving in pastures, woods, gardens and orchards across the UK from January to early March. Their white petals and green leaves brighten the winter months and signal that warmer weather is on the way. Discover the best spots for seeing snowdrops at the places in our care.
