A nice walk. But sadly they've opened at the wrong time of year. 24th February is too late in the year unfortunately.... at least in 2024. Of course it's been an early Spring and of course these flowers are liable to flower at different times each year. But it would be fair for Brightwater Gardens to close the snowdrops walk earlier if the snowdrops are all clearly well past their best which certainly were by 24th February this year. That's a shame.

Not too say that if they snowdrops were in full bloom that it wouldn't be spectacular - I'm sure it would. Or later in the season when wildflowers are blooming. Could be worth another visit later...

Just be aware it is not a card taking venue. There are plants on sale which reflect what you see in the garden and we were lucky to have a flypast by...
