Snowdrops at Chastleton
This February book a visit to explore the snowdrop display in Chastleton's Wilderness Walk.
Swathes of snowdrops decorate Chastleton's gardens in February. We're throwing open the gates for a small but special snowdrop opening so that you can welcome spring and enjoy the sight of the year's first flower.
You can pick up your very own snowdrops to plant at home, from our homegrown plant sales. You can also warm up with a self serve hot drink in the stable yard.
When we first started caring for Chastleton over 30 years ago, thousands of snowdrops were planted in the area now known as the Wilderness Walk. We've increased planting and improved winter walking conditions in recent years, resulting in big, beautiful snowdrops displays accessible by a network of winding pathways.
Whether you fancy a self-led walk around our 'wilderness' to enjoy the winter display, or you’re a true galanthophile and you fancy a few hours lying on your stomach looking up into the interesting hybrids, we look forward to welcoming you.
There will be plants for sale and a cash only, self-service tea and coffee station. Please note that the house is closed in February, and areas of the garden are closed in winter. This event is for the wilderness walk area of the garden only.
Our snowdrop openings take place on 11, 12, 18 and 19 February. The wilderness walk is open from 11am-2.30pm. Pre-booking essential. Your booked time is your time of arrival, but you're welcome as long as you like up until we close at 2.30pm.
Free for National Trust members, £4.50 for non-members.
Please note:
- Park at Chastleton main visitor car park. Head to Visitor Reception for admission.
- Footwear and clothing suitable for outdoor conditions.
- The wilderness walk is a chipped path, which may be passable with wheelchairs or buggies capable of negotiating uneven terrain. Assistance dogs only in the garden. Toilets (including accessible toilets) available near the house, although the house itself will be closed.
- Children are welcome.
