Spring on the estate walk
Discover the wider estate at Greys Court on the estate walk, which takes in the outer areas of this peaceful place. Through woodland and fields, discover wonderful views across the rolling Chiltern Hills and find signs of spring, such as daffodils and wild flowers popping up along the route.
Be careful to stick to the main pathways and not trample through any areas where flowers are appearing, this helps keep the scenery looking its best for all the visitors coming through.
Spring in the walled gardens
The gardens start looking full of life at this time of the year.
The patchwork of spring bulbs appearing, opposite the maze, is a scene not to be missed. The design of the planting of the bulbs was inspired by the patchwork quilt in Lady Brunner’s bedroom, making for a unique display of blooming spring flowers.
Don’t miss out on the wonderful sight of Cherry Blossom blooming in the Cherry Garden. When these trees begin to flower their appearance can look different day to day, return visits are a must to make the most of this once-a-year sight.
2,000 tulip bulbs will also be starting to appear in these months in the courtyard area next to the Cromwellian Building, just as you enter the walled gardens. It’s an impressive sight not to be missed.
Bluebell watch
Bluebells normally start to appear around April, although there are many factors that will determine specifically when they appear fully!
The Spinney Woods at Greys Court becomes home to a carpet of this beautiful flower, making for an impressive view when looking back on it from the estate walk.
Some of the bluebells have been severely damaged in recent years as people have been trampling through them to get a good photo. Please will all visitors to the bluebell woods keep to the marked out path through the middle, so this spectacular sight can stay looking spectacular for years to come.
Spring indoors
Enjoy the sight of freshly arranged flower displays in the house, using seasonal flowers, as the house team bring the outdoors of spring indoors.
Discover a taste of spring indoors in the Cowshed tea-room as they will be serving seasonal dishes, and where possible using fresh produce from the Kitchen Garden that is within the walled gardens.
