There's two particular types of snowdrops to spot around the estate, these are the Galanthus nivalis and G. elwesii. To spot these, take a walk to the lawn in front of the south entrance into the Rose Garden, the Cascade bank (as you walk down the slope from Blenheim Pavilion towards Canning's Oak) and finally the area outside the Blenheim entrance into the Long Garden.
Snowdrops are generally at their peak in the first half of February (weather dependent).
