Top spots for snowdrops in the East of England

Beautiful drifts of white snowdrops are one of the great pleasures of visiting gardens at the end of winter. They transform woodland and garden floors in January and February and to help you get a closer look, here are some of the best places to see them in the East of England...

Snowdrops House

Anglesey Abbey 

Anglesey Abbey has one of the finest snowdrop collections in the country, with over 300 varieties of these delicate white flowers. There are fabulous displays throughout the gardens, where you can take in their beauty amongst a collection of classical statues. The Winter Garden is also at its prime at this time of year.

Sheringham Park 

Another beautiful setting enhanced by displays of snowdrops is Sheringham Park. The Upcher family left their estate to the National Trust, so it’s fitting that Galanthus plicatus ‘Upcher’ features throughout the Park, among other varieties.
