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.

Walk among drifts of white blooms at Acorn Bank in Cumbria; head to Anglesey Abbey in Cambridgeshire, and join one of the specialist tours, where you can discover rare varieties; or see the dazzling snowdrop displays at Plas yn Rhiw in Wales. A sighting of this little flower is the first sign that spring is just around the corner.
