Dyrham Park

Snippets of winter colour are popping up in the garden as the daylight starts to stretch out day by day.

One of the first signs of spring is the annual snowdrop bloom which can be seen in front of the 17th-century house at Dyrham Park in January and February.

There are acres of ancient parkland, formal gardens and woodland terraces waiting to be discovered. Our downloadable walking trails will take you on a journey through history, under the bare canopies of winter's trees and to the best spots for sweeping vistas. Why not discover more this winter?
