The delicate snowdrop is one of the first signs that spring is stirring, brightening woodlands and riverbanks with its crisp white petals. With Shropshire’s rich mix of forests, valleys, and historic estates, the county becomes a haven for snowdrop seekers from January through early March. Explore some of the most enchanting places to enjoy these early blooms.
Winsley Hall, Westbury
21st - 22nd February 2026
Raising funds for Lingen Davies, the annual Snowdrop Walk in the grounds of Winsley Hall is a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re a keen gardener, a nature lover, or simply looking for a relaxing day out with friends and family, this event is a great way to take a gentle stroll in a stunning setting. After your walk, make your way to the charming Saddle Room, where you can warm up with a well-deserved cup of tea or coffee and indulge in a selection of delicious homemade cakes and refreshments. Dogs on leads are welcome.
Powis Castle, Welshpool
Powis Castle is a must-visit for snowdrop enthusiasts, with swathes of these delicate blooms scattered throughout the terraced garden. From the banks of the Edwardian Formal Garden to the Daffodil Paddock and the enchanting scenes in the Wilderness woodland, the displays create a fairy-tale atmosphere. Dogs on short leads are welcome.
Attingham Park, Shrewsbury
Just a short drive from Shrewsbury, Attingham Park is a picturesque place in all seasons, but this February the team are extending opening hours for Snowdrop Walks in the evening. Wrap up warm, grab a hot chocolate from the on-site café and enjoy the magic of snowdrops along the Mile Walk. Dogs on leads are welcome.
