Winter walks at The Argory

Discover the beauty of The Argory stripped bare by winter and full of life as busy woodland residents emerge – look out for winter wildlife in the branches, gathering fodder for their winter feasts. You'll also spot red robins with their feathers fluffed up against the cold, and now is the perfect time of year to spot kingfishers perched above the river.

Snowdrops at The Argory

Snowdrops are a striking bloom in winter months when little else is growing. A walk through a blanket of these small, white, bell-shaped flowers is a seasonal pleasure for many.
